Powerhead?

I am currently running an aqua clear 802 powerhead on my 55gal FOWLR. It is starting to make a little noise. I began to look for a new pump and am full of questions. The stated rating on the aqua clear pump is 400gal/hr. I have heard a lot of good things about the maxi-jet but have not been able to find a maxi with any where near 400 gal/hr the largest is 295gal/hr.
Is the aqua clear a good pump? I believe that it is magnet driven. Has anyone had problems with them. (I don't know how old this powerhead is. I got the tank from my neighbor almost a year ago.) Any input would be very helpfull. Thanks!
