    I personally went with Buckeye Field Supply. Am very happy with my unit.

    Spectrapure, Buckeye Field Supply or PurelyH2o. Stay away from vertex, they can be dangerous, I took one apart and found 120v AC power and cheap twist wire nuts where it should have been low voltage DC and sealed or at least water resistant connections. Not sure how it was even sold like that. In the last week alone I have been helping a couple of users convert theirs since they were not happy with their performance.
