Best Sponge filter?

[Otto72]

Along with my new Ecco Pro 200, I want to run a small sponge filter as well, I was just wondering if there's a specific brand of sponge filter thats better than the rest? I see the brand 'JAD' showing up a lot on ebay is this a good make or are they all the same quality no matter which brand I choose?

Also are the ones that stick to the back of the tank any better than the free standing ones?

They're basically all the same. The more grooves in the sponge, the more surface area for filtration.

Just get the most simple looking one, that way there's less parts that can break!
