What do you think is better for some flow behind the rock?

Any experience with any of these brands?

The reason I chose smaller GPH and smaller pumps for you to choose is that this is going in a seahorse tank. So now I need to determine which pump is worth my money. Many seahorse hobbyist say that powerheads are not needed, but I believe that atleast some lower flow is good behind and through the live rocks. So if you can help me with which to choose from I would greatly appreciate this.

I know that if I would point the powerhead upwards (flowing going up), behind the rocks in the corner of the tank, this would probably create a more balanced flow allowing for some calmer spots and also the much needed flow through the rocks.

Which is better for this application in your opinion?

If any of you guys have any of these above and know that they are worth it over SEIO and Maxi-Jet please let me know.
