Can't comment on the other filters but I have the Tetratec EX700 which I found very easy to set up and service etc, very sraight forward,(I think all the Tetratec EX models are set up pretty much the same), also have the Hydor, is it the external heater you are reffering to ? I added one and have had no problems setting it up and using, it's attached to the outlet pipe on the tetratec , it makes a bit of a click when switching on and off but at least that way you know it's doing something

Go for it, you won't be dissapointed.
Apart from that it's nice having one lesspiece of hardware to clutter up the tank
