I know there are opinions about WHAT media reactors you like or not, but if I wanted to test 2 in a home grown expiereement head to head contest so to speak, how would you design such an experiment?

I was thinking about something like, placing two with the same Carbon or GFO and the same pumps with water from the same source, matching their flow with how long it takes to produce a liter of water, tainting the water with the same element (molasses?), and seeing how long it takes to run clean.

Does anyone have a better experiment idea?
How do you know which media reactor to trust?
How much of the "good" one of these does comes from the design of the reactor vs the media itself?

*making an experiment anyway, so again, not looking for "just buy a ___, they the best" lol Help me make my sciencing better :D
 
Then there is upflow vs downflow
