I have no experience for the AI Nero 5 but I did Once by Reef breeders head that was very similar. I did not like the mp40s because you cannot direct them at all. They may be good for specific jobs but I just don't like them as it is. The Reef breeders had I had to return because it wasn't working properly.
For me IMO, I like to be able to direct flow. If my flow is not working exactly how I want it in my tank I can just move a head slightly. Something to think about.
As far as power outage management, you can get any backup battery and plug a head into it.

Nero 5 with variable speeds is the preferred for me and it is in essence the same manufacturer

I have the nero and the ecotech. I believe that if you have a cube tank the nero is great, if you have a long tank, then you will want the mp40 for that extra power.
ecotech does give you better options, and is much different than what nero offers. I think its a matter of what your setup is. they both will suck up fish and anemones so keep that in mind. the ecotech has a sponge filter that will protect the fish, but needs a cleaning every 2 days.. lots of people are now printing really nice guards for both models.
