I don't have experience with the U4, but I do have the Fluval 306 & 406 canister filters. They are very quiet, and my water looks great. I would expect the quality to be the same on all their canister filters.

The U4 is an internal filter not a canister filter. Way smaller.

If you go with the u4 I would do 2. One on each end. What is your stocking?
