Maxijets are great, I have 4 on a wave maker and another two, one feeding my fuge and one in my 90g cichlids tank. They are quiet, effiecent, cheap, last forever and can be used on a wavemaker!
I like my two seios, but they clog easy and are harder to clean than Maxijets.
My Rio burnt out with in 6 months... waste of cash and a hazard.

I know its late jumping on, but I'd like to add my praises to the Seio line of powerheads.
TAAM Seio 2600
2600+gph, ceramic shaft
Pros: Well, this thing has a serious amount of flow, at a very low power consumption for similarly sized pumps. The flow is a nice dispersed flow unlike that of the maxijet stype pumps, and has a nearly 3" output nozzle. Strong enough to get ALL of the water moving in our 150gallon reef tank and ricochet off of the opposite end of the 6' tank.
Cons: This thing is huge. Plain and simple, its a huge pump. It will take up a decent amount of space in the tank, however, its worth it.
Overall: A great pump for the money. The flow can be aimed anywhere and if done correctly not knock things over. We have it in our 150gal reef tank with a sand substrate and have no issues with sand storms, but its strong enough flow to aid in coral health, as well as fish health.
