    I use the Jaeger (sp.?) stealths and have no complaints.

    +1 on stealths. Its what I have used for years and have yet to have a problem. Plan on upgrading as soon as the new stealth comes out.

    +2 or 3 on the Titanium. I use a Via Aqua Titanium myself and they are great. Been is service 6 years now without a hiccup and the controller is very accurate.

    +1 on the ebo-jager heaters...actually they're called eheim jager now. I've never had any experience with the titanium heaters.

    I have two of the titaniums that Ocean posted above. Got mine off ebay dirt cheap. Been running a year now with no problems. If you have big temp changes in your house I would suggest a controller to operate it. It has a dial built in but I wouldn't trust those on any brand of heater.
