I'd go Danner Mag-Drive 350 or 500, or Eheim 1250 or 1048 if you got cash to burn (but you already know I'd say that).

One thing to consider with direct drive pumps is that the seals can fail without warning in time. A Mag-Drive will give off lots of noise before failure and keep going (unless it's a RIO).

Also the direct drives tend to be less efficient (adding more heat to the water) than the Mag-Drive variants.

Edit: changed danner sizes 500, 750 to 350, 500 (late here, getting tired I guess)
