I assume your talking a wet/dry sump style filter. I have the AGA MegaFlow Sump and so far so good. Easy to setup and let's me put one of my heaters in the sump.
More expensive than a do it yourself, but time is money and sometimes I have more of one and sometimes more of the other.

they are alright but when set up wrong they can become nitrate sponges...my old work used them and it was a nightmare
Like everything, done wrong it goes bad.
A wet/dry setup offers huge amount of biological filtration, as long as you maintain it properly, you should be good.
THe tendency is to take advantage of the massive biological filtration and let the tank get out of hand.

A model one from:

Is $169 and you still need a pump.
The other thing I did is pull out the bio-balls and replaced them with nylon pot scrubbers. Much more bo-area

Just curious, what do you guys mean when you say “maintain them properly"? I think I'm doing a pretty could job, but is their some specific maintenaince you have to perform with a wet try system?

over time they actually build up tons of nitrates so they need to be almost broken down every so often or cleaned a lot.
