Build quality is self explanatory.
The aquaclears use filter media baskets instead of cartridges which you can fill with your own media (or combos of media). I run a coarse sponge, polyfill, and bio media in mine, for example. This not only does a better job, but is extremely cheaper than cartridges. You can mod a catridge hang on back to do the same thing, but you still have a cheaper pump to worry about.
Noise is also self explanatory.
Overall, aquaclear is the winner hands down. I would highly recommend getting one. But at this price point? This is still a solid deal.

The aquaclears have seemingly always been scarce online, but local pet stores/big chain stores seem to always have them in stock.

But another question, I have a small tank that I'm going to be using, 10 to 15 gallon, is it a bad idea to get a bigger filter in case I end up upgrading my tank to a larger size in the future?
Is there any downside to that? Thanks!
edit: for reference, I'm looking at this.

You could absolutely use that in a smaller tank for now if youd like, it has an adjustable flow knob on the top, you can greatly slow down the suction/waterfall for a smaller tank.
I also highly recommend getting a coarse sponge to go over the intake, not only does it prevent fish from getting trapped (or my cherry shrimp) but it also provides another form of filtration. I clean the sponge every other week and the filter media once a month.
