If your shopping by cost, I don't think tunze would win, but the quality and longevity of the product is excellent. The service and support is also very good, I needed an impeller for a older skimmer last year, I was happy to find out that Tunze has a website selling spare parts and the pricing was not to bad. I also like that the products are made in Germany, not far from a place I lived for a few years.
I would also consider the Tunze Turbelle Stream 3 6150.

just looking for people's opinion based on the 3 pumps i listed. Many factors why i picked these three based on price, performance, how quiet they are. I rather get any of the ones i selected then a vertec.. I watched a few youtube reviews and the vertex is a bit noisy with a humming noise that will drive me nuts.

I would go with a tunze unit. They last a long time and are tanks.

Tunze, but 2 of the 6095s instead. They are stronger than the 6055s to cover the 4' length of a 75, but more importantly, they have a much wider flow pattern for more coverage than the relatively narrow flow pattern of the 6055s.
