so what brand does everyone use?

JMO - A canister is a great thing. Features, reliability and cost play a large part in making a decision.
The Fluval utilizes large foam strips as it's first layer of bio/mechanical filtering. Then, and this is where I believe the Fluval has an advantage, come the media baskets. These baskets can take whatever you want in them. Want additional water polishing, chemical, biological filtering? You can get it all in with no fuss.
Do you have to use the manufacturer's media? Only the foam...everything else can be swapped around. A couple of nylon bags and your ready to go.
