Im looking to upgrade to a 80 gallon, what are the best options. I was thinking water box but not sure if its the best choice. So does anyone know the best option and maybe a best/affordable alternative.

These are the 2 options i was thinking of one is cheaper but im not sure of the difference
 
I would buy a Sepora Rimless 80g.........they go for about 550. I'm not sure if they have a companion stand but you can use any standard 120g stand........or have one custom made for about 6-800. Custom sump-450-500

So probably about $1000-1200 less than what you're looking at. Use a 40 breeder for the sump & another 400 saved.

My Deep blue Rimless(Sepora comparable) is 12 years old and is perfect condition.

Personally, if it was me I'd go with a 120g SC aquarium & do the same as above.
