The mag 3 on the other hand, is designed to last more or less indefinitely. It runs cool, has no [brushes], and uses a sealed magnetic drive. I can't say if the Johnson is mag-drive or sealed shaft, so this would be worth looking into.
I too would say go for the danner unless you really need the massive pumping power for some reason and can take the risks.
edit: meant to say brushes rather than magnets
