Default ato pump?

I am needing 2 more top off setups and am thinking of buying 2 deluxe ato kits which come with floats and other parts but dont come with pumps. Are small maxijets a good choice for this? Aqualifter? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Dave

Aqua lifter works great.

How large is your tank and sump? Aqualifters are good for smaller setups but they have a hard time keeping up with larger volumes of water. MJ's are good, or any other cheap pump you can find. Pretty much anything works for ATO.

I have 250 gallons total volume and the aqualifter keeps up just fine. I get 2.5 gal evaporation per day

Thanks for the responses. I will be putting them on systems that will be 60 to 80 gallons each including sumps. Glad to hear that either will be sufficient.
