Eheim heaters have always worked well for me.

I have a finnex 300 and a aqua top 150 in my 75 and an eheim in my 30 and all seam to work as good as the other I can say that I like the build of the finnex the best due to the heat probe being sealed ond all of my past heater failures were from the o-rings failing around the temp adjustment screw

If you are looking for something very reliable try a Finnex titanium tube controlled by a Ranco, a little more money but it s a quality setup.

I personally like jagers. They are reliable for the price point

I still favor the Ranco temp controller with almost any heater. In this case the best thing in my opinion, is Ranco and 2 cheap heaters. So if one fails the other still works.
