What hang on back skimmer would be bestfor less than $150?

I am interested in buying a hang on back skimmer for my 30G tank, what would be the best option? The Bak-Pak-2, the prizm deluxe? There are a whole bunch of them and I keep read "that sucks" or "thats good" on all of them.. any opinions?

I've got the CPR bakpak on my 36 gallon. Works great. The only complain I have is about the Rio pump, always has problems. The skimmer is availiable with a maxijet 1200 now though, so I recommend getting that.

I'd second the CPR bacpac 2r...decent skimmer for under 55 gal systems....

Thanks I think the bakpak is the one I will be going for. I dont see much of a difference between the 2 and the 2r. The r simply removes that bio filter media (that blue stuff?).. I have fish, live rock, a few coral polyps and a bta, which should I get?
