So i've been considering this myself recently. When I asked last week the two recommendations I got were penn-plax and hydor.
The fluval '06 line has mixed reviews. I thought about a SunSun because of the price and UV sterilizer, but the consensus is you get what you pay for there. So then I considered the AquaTop, which is the 'higher end' version of the SunSun, but it appears they have poor customer service. I was intrigued by the marineland mangiflow series, as marineland seems extremely responsive to customers questions/requests on amazon.
But ultimately, I'm heavily considering this hydor for my 29 gal tank. I'm still tempted by the Penn-Plax cascade.
What is your budget? Obviously your going to have a canister filter for that size, some good ones are Fluval, Marineland, Hydor, and sunsun cans if your on a lower budget, but still work really well, I use one for my 50g. And depending on the fish you want, you could have more than one filters, like if you have a fancy goldfish setup, you could have a canister and a HOB filter, to keep the tank cleaner.
I strongly recommend a Hydor 350 or 450. Very easy to clean, maintain, and prime. The tubing is also pretty standard, so modding the inlet/output pipes or adding an in-line heater or CO2 reactor are really easy
Might I suggest the Hydor 350? Only $109 on Amazon.
I have one for my 60 gallon tank, as well as the in-line heater. Best features: opaque tubing (compared to the Fluval's ugly black ribbed tubing), extentable spray bar (they also include the standard lily pipe), easy maintenance, and the thing is scary quiet. The only way I know it's working is by the sound of splashing water from the spray bar (I keep it above the water for aeration and that lovely "waterfall" sound).
Of course I'm biased, but I really think this is one of the best canister filters out there, especially for the price.
