I have a Eheim on my 60 gal and it moves the water well. It seems to do a great job of filtering and it is quiet. I have never used a XP3 so I can not compare it. My last filter was a magnum 350 but it blew up. I like the quick disconects on the Eheim and it seems like a well built unit.
I like the Filstar XP2 or XP3 over the Eheim 2217 because I like the use of the media baskets. IMO, the Eheim Professional II series are the best canisters overall though, but they cost about 2x that of a Filstar.
