Need to get a new pump, help please

[aquaman]

I have a pump that just died, luckly there are 2 on the tank so there still is water movment. I am looking a a couple others, I am looking at:
Mag 9.5 Drive Pump 950gph
and
Rio 32HF, CD-70490 1920gph
It will be going on a 225g tank with a 25g fuge and 50g sump. Which would you get and why? OR is there another pump/brand you would recomend?

That's a huge difference in gph, or a typo??
Never had a Rio, I like my Mag drives. Very quiet and efficient. Long lasting and good reputation!

I am sure these it some "padding" of the gph, as it is rated that at 1' so at 5 ft, I am guessing it would be much less. I have had rio before and like them, but I know Mag are a really good brand.

I ordered a:
Eco 1267 Submersible Water Pump 1267 GPH
I do not know much about them but they seem to have good reviews, and the price is good. At any rate, it is better than the pump that died.

I looked at that, but money is tight, and I need a pump ASAP. I may upgrade to 2 of those this summer when I have a bit more money (I hope) so I can have 2 of the same pumps from the sump to the DT.

I got my Eco 1267 Submersible Water Pump 1267 GPH today, man is it getting some serious flow going, I think I will get another one to replace the old pump I have. I am really liking it.
