I really like Vertex reactors, they are well made using high quality materials. Not sure if there is really a "best" reactor, but some are better than others. I'm sure others will chime in!

i had one on my old tank and it was a pain in the butt to change and got clogged at the top some times i never looked forward to changing them

I guess it depends a bit on whether said reactors will be in the sump or not. If in, then I dont think it matters. If out, then something with better build quality (less likely to leak).

it’s going to be out of sump

I bought a Avast reactor kit and couldn't be happier. You're going to save some cash and anyone can put one together with their video. My return pump is T'd off to power the reactor.
