Filter Advice

Hi
I have a new tank coming at the weekend. It is roughly 300litres.
I currently have an Interpet PF4 and a Elite Jet Flo 100 Filter
running on my 200litre tank.
The new (2nd hand) tank I am getting, comes with EHEIM AQUABALL 2210 AND EHEIM PICKUP 2012. I have no idea on these filters and how good they are.
I will have a choice out of the 4 to put on my new tank but I don't know which 2 to use. Any suggestions?
Obviously I would love to have an external filter but funds won't allow it at the moment!

Eheim externals, powerheads and pumps are all excellent quality so i would assume the same can be said for these filters. Although i've never had any personal experience with them.

I have an aquaball in my 60 litre tank, and it's a good filter. Nice and quite, easy to maintain, and I've never had a problem with water quality.
Since I've never had a pickup filter, I'm afraid I can't comment on that one.

i also have an eheim internal . altho i dont use it any more , but they are very good as internals go. altho on a tank that size imo youd be much better of with externals

I have been having a look at the filters and it seems that the Interpet one is for up to 168litres, the Eheim Aquaball 2210 is for up to 160 litres and the EHEIM PICKUP 2012 is up to 200litres. The other filter I have is or up to 100litres.
Can anyone help with what might be the best 2 to run based on reliability and how well they actually work? Held off the tank last week and am now getting it tomorrow.
Any advice on these 3 is great, or a cheap decent external but I think that has to hold off for now due to money.
I know 'sense' should tell me use the highest capacity ones but it all depends if the Eheim one is goo enough
Thanks!
