Help, really need to know witch one is better, better quality, better filtration, ect...

I have a deal for a Fluval 205 for 50$, or a Eheim 2215(Model 350) for 65$.

I require assistance in my choice:3

Thank You
 
I have the Fluval 206. Pro=easy to clean. Easy and pretty drip proof to disconnect for cleaning. Con= Ribbed hoses harder to clean and the hideous white sleeves showing in your tank.
I've never had the Eheim but all that have it give good comments.
As far as dependability, I don't think you could lose either way. OS.
 
I've used around 10 or so different model external canister filters and the Eheim Classic series is streets ahead of any other. Insanely easy to clean, no maintenance issues, incredibly quiet, great GPH...only small issue was the price and the horrible manual priming method.
 
I think this is pretty much all I need, just some support. I have read a lot on these filters now. Apparently, the fluval has a poor quality of material, often replace, sometimes noisy, defaults. What I have read about the Eheim was outstanding. Insanely quite, very durable, ect...
I guess I'll go with the Eheim and see how it goes. Thanks for the opinion guys!
