For the difference in money I would buy a Filstar or Ehiem.

Having just had an Eheim Ecco fail after only a couple of months, I can
honestly say that I wouldn't use one of those again. Very poor design
and very fiddly to maintain. I had constant problems with it whilst it
worked (badly) and then the handle snapped during a restart.

Just my 2c, but I have very strong feelings against Eheim, or at least
against the Ecco.
