Over the years I have used just about every kind of pump there is. You just can't beat Sequence for durability. I had two of them that after 10 years of use and abuse were still going strong. And I have had no complaints with Superfalls or Aqua Flo.
Last summer I tried one of the new Sure Pro pumps with the newly designed super efficient Marathon motor. The model SP 5500. This pump only has a 1/10 HP motor but out flowed my Sequence, my Superfalls, and my Aqua Flo, all with 1/4 HP motors, and did it at over a hundred watts less. Only 286 watts. I was so impressed I took on the product line and now sell the Sure Pro pumps.
I am now running 7 of them on my ponds. Four 3500s, two 5500s, and one 8500 running my shower. All 7 are drawing rated wattages or less. They all have totally enclosed American made Marathon motors, 15 foot cord, top end high silicone carbon seals, two year warranty, and even an off/on switch. For a low head high flow situation they are another good option.
