I prefer Marineland filters because they sport the BioWheel, which seems to me to help in biological filtration. They are comparably priced to the AquaClear (I have one of those too - jury is still out) but a bit louder.
For your tank, I'd recommend a Penguin 350 or Emperor 400.
As for air pumps, I've liked the Whisper lines for over a decade. I have never had any problems with them. They also make a deep water line.
