Default What pump to get for 5ft tank

I am setting up a 5x2x2 tank w 4ft sump for a xb w tank mates.
I wanted to put in a eheim 1264, but noticed that it is no longer on eheim website. Is it EOL?
The tank builder can still get the pump for me, but will I be better off with a fluval sp4 or a eheim 1102(compact+ 5000).
I am more concern reliability and replace-ability

imo go for eheim, they are worth the $ they last for a very very very long time and are energy saving as well

I would still go for ehiem because of its reliability. But you may consider Sicce. Its an italian brand. Not bad too.

Thanks Aro77, Hershley.

Any recommendation on which pump to get? 1264 or 1102?

For me, a rough gauge will be Ehiem 1260 for a 4ft tank, 1262 for a 5-footer and a 1264 for a 6ft tank.. Am currently using a Ehiem 1264 for my 6ft sump tank as well...
