Default Skimmer Help!!

I have recently purchased a 175 gal bowfront and plan on installing a sump. any suggestions on excellent skimmers to purchase? or ones to stay away from for that matter?

I heard that coralife product are not that great. Euro-reef skimmers, aguac, asm g-series, PM(precision marine) skimmers, ati bubble master, deltech and red sea are good IMO. Stay away from coralife, odyssea, seaclone, prizm IMO

Id also check out aquacave.com. They have some great octopus skimmers. There just like asm or euro reef, for about half the price. I have an asm and an octopus, and i think the octopus out performs my asm.
