I was originally looking into RedSea, but based on more reading it looks like that might not be a good choice for a larger 300g system.

What brands and or custom builders are best and last the longest?

Last thing I want is a leak or catastrophic failure. Not only is that bad for the fish, but my house is made completely out of wood!
 
I’ve always bought miracles tanks. They are in Ontario Canada, local to me, and they overbuild their tanks. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a failure post involving them.

In my opinion you are asking the wrong question. Best is for sports, statistics.

If you are looking for a 300 gallon system my suggestion would be to assess the installation location, equipment to run it (sump, skimmer, lights, etc), and come up with one or two size options. Take that and send out a request for bid/quote from any of the list below. In fact I would suggest sending three or four out so you can review each and see which one works best for you. It very well may be different for me. I actually went through this for a 370 gallon upgrade.

Here is a post that is a good list of builders to choose from that @Joe Glass Cages posted.

After just taking my Tank apart I can vouch for Seapora . 7mm glass in a75 G and offer total tempered glass models as well, Try as a did it was impossible to save the top and bottom rims

I have no qualms with my planet aquarium 180 and 70 rimless.

I would do glass cages or planet aquariums and get the exact dimensions you want
