My 55g has a HOB trickle filter and a refugium/sump with biowheels like this:
and i use a rio 2700 for the sump pump.
right now, I only have a aqua clear 300 on my 72 gallon but it does a good job. I will probally get another 300 if I get any more fish though.

I have an AC 500 an AC 150 on my 55, and a millenium 200 on my bare 10g hospital/Q/fry grow-out tank. I'm really kind of over-filtered on the 55 because it's fairly under-stocked, with 5 cory cats, 4 small black phantom tetras, 3 swordtails and 4 small angels. Better than under-filtered though by all means
I use lots of different filters. I tend not to use UGF or RUGF, although I have a couple of them. I overfilter all tanks, and I almost always have two or more filters per tank. I try to separate mechanical and biofiltration.
For smaller tanks, I tend to use HOBs, mostly Emperors or Penguins, although I have a few AquaClears and a Whisper or two (that won't be replaced when they die). Larger tanks generally have one or more Eheim canister packed as bio-only, with mechanical filtration provided either by HOT Magnums or a variety of internal filters. I have an Eheim 2229 wet/dry on my 180, but I think it's pretty much overkill for most tanks.
