EK and Bitspower are the most common ones among the "pros" and the rest of us =)

FrozenQ reservoirs looks really good, and they have fixed the problems they had a couple of years ago =)

I personally like the XSPC one since it's made of glass and is a very simple design.

Ok, I'm debating between the Photon 170 vs. the Phobya Balanced 150.   Any thoughts or suggestions?

use the photon, i've had three phobya and they all leaked from a sub-par o-ring failure

between the tube and end cap. on the photon, verify overall condition before install,

the end caps can be damaged in shipping and leak as well.

it depends on the look you want for your build the Phobya does have more options for tubing routing and color compared to the Photon. I personally own a combo unit of the Photon and it works great in my experience. 

 

If you want the most beastly glass reservoir though there is the Aqualis made by Aqucomputer which looks amazing but also is quite expensive:

Note: FCPU link is just for reference still out of service until further notice.
