I've had both, get the Remora (or Remora Pro).

The CPR uses a venturi driven pump to fuel the bubbles, and people still add a
modification using a wooden airstone in the reaction chamber hooked up to an
extra air pump just to get more foam.

The Remora uses a spray injector system, and doesn't need a venturi tube or
anything. Plus is is smaller in profile and better made, imho. Be sure to get
the MaxiJet pump, not the Rio.
