I say Bulk Reef supply is the best bet. I think J&L is having a sale on them, too. A nice 4 stage is good. I suggest stay away from the Coralife Pure Flo 2 from Big AL's over priced for such alittle units.

There are a few companies which sell nice units on ebay, like this one
$150 US for a 5 stage and it includes some installation supplies, a faucet and even some extra filters. Plus it ships from Ontario so shipping will be reasonable and no worries about duty and brokerage fees. The first three stages are not all carbon, only one, the other two are sediment. Living in Calgary you don't need the 6th stage (DI). You should be able to get 0 TDS without it. It may depend on where about in the city you live but I setup a unit there and the TDS going in was at 54ppm and a normal five stage brought it down to zero and kept it there for over a year with regular use.

The Vertex Puratek100 is actually only CDN $370 at J&L and is actually not a bad price for what you get. It has an inline TDS meter and built in booster pump. It is pretty efficient and is close to 1:1 in waste to RO water production. Cheaper units generally produce about 3 to 5 times as much waste water as RO water. That is the one I have and it is great.

Aqua-safe are cheap and they work. I wouldn't use one if they didn't work...don't get distracted by the pressure guages and the inline TDS meter, they are not accurate and don't work long IME.
