Don't go with the WP line if you buy jebao, I'm 3/3 on my WPs breaking. People report much better success with the RWs. If you can't go with the RWs my vote by default is the gyre.

There are a couple of Treads in here that will give you all this information you need, for example doing a quick search on google https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/maxspect-gyre-xf130-ok-for-a-125g.186932/

I have a wp that's been running 2 years non stop, but I have heard bad things about them. But I've also heard bad about the other. So knock on wood myn stays running for awhile. Good luck with either u choose.

I have two RW's and I love them. I've had one for over a year and the second for maybe 6 months.

The varied/random/wide pattern of flow they create is just awesome, they are utterly silent, and super inexpensive to boot!

I'd say start with the RW's (have controllers built in) and maybe add a gyre later down the road if you still want one.

If it were my tank I'd probably start with two RW8's and the add in another one or two RW4's to fill in any dead spots and have more control over the type and direction of flow you want.

I have a WP on 1 tank(2 years i think) and a coupe RW's (about a year) on another. Never had an issue. I really want the gyre, I couldn't get it to fit on my 125, so got the RW's.

Thanks for the info guys! As we know in this hobby finding the right equipment can be the most difficult lol.
