I recommend getting the best bang for the buck in value. How to equate value to a fountain purchase is to consider warranties of the brand. Like most warranties read the fine print to truly understand what actually is covered. Some warranty what's in the water for a certain amount of time and what's controllinig it for a different length of time. What you must consider is the investment and how your investment is going to be protected for as long as possible and that's why I recommend Otterbine's Aerating Fountain line that has an all inclusive 5 Year Warranty. All inclusive means that everything is warrantied for the same amount of time, 5 years. From the motor, float, pump, pattern, cable, control panel and components all carry 5 years of warranty. Divide the cost of any brand by the length of warranty and that will give you the value of that brand.
