i have always been a fan of the cobalt Neo-Therms....the fact that they are slim, solid and fairly accurate units is what gets me

I really like the jager heaters. They are big but seem to work great. I have never tried those expensive one. Definitely watch the cobalt I believe as they were bursting and contaminating tank.

I only trust the Ehiem Jager heaters, all I've ever used.

Eheim jager here

Eheim Jager. I've only owned the one since it's my first tank, but the original heater is still rockin' 3 years later.

I don't remember the last brand I bought but I prefer the titanium ones. I always always use with a separate temp controller.

I got 2 jagers

I've used almost every brand over the past 6 years, the only brand that has held true to temp is the Ehiem Jager.

Thanks everyone for your input

I've used several Finnex titanium heaters I bought around 9 years ago since then in my tanks. They are starting to crap out on me and I need to get a couple of new ones. Bought a new Finnex and they aren't even close to the same anymore. The thing I like about the titanium heaters is they won't crack if you accidentally don't turn them off when draining the sump, making a water change and if you drop them no worries. I have an Eheim I got with the new tank buy and I guess I'll try that out. Have any of you had problems with the Eheims breaking or cracking? I love Eheim stuff and it looks like the glass is quite a bit thicker.

I have dropped a jager on tile floor and I still use it. I thought for sure it was a goner.

You will find bad ones with every brand. The latest titanium heaters from Reef Octopus have been a big disappointment and I have had to send some Eheims back as well. The Jagers are one of your more solid choices though.
