I would do almost any brand over the Aqueon. The only would I would not use at all if you gave it to me is the Deep Blue (because even when I was forced to it fell apart).
I like the hardware for all the other brands better. Lee's makes what they call a cleaning claw, not good for vacuuming the gravel, but perfect if you have sand and don't need to be cleaning the whole time you drain. It allows me to start a drain, do something else (like work at home or clean the filter at a client's house) without worrying about the fish getting sucked up. It also spreads out the flow when you fill. It happens to fit on every single water changer EXCEPT the Aqueon.
I recommend the Lee's Deluxe water changer.
