For clear water you don't need great filters. What is more important is building a system that is easy to clean because dirty filters don't do shit. To find the best filters you should look at what aquariums use, specifically reef aquariums. Clear water is far more important in an aquarium than in a pond. And Reef aquariums need to filter out a lot of things that you can't see to keep the coral healthy.
These sock filters are great, and protein skimmers will pull out all the organic waste your fish produce.
You can also use a "reactor"to extract any and all other chemicals by filling the reactor with different kinds of medium. These are very simple and can even be built with pvc pipes. By removing all of the phosphorous for example you can prevent algae from growing because it requires that ingredient.
A media reactor (reef tanks use them a lot) with a low flow (<50gph) pump.
