They would both work just fine the Fluval has baskets for the media which is convenient, however, the eheim would be my choice.

One thing with the Eheim is you won't get an water bypass, I have read numerous posts about the fluvals having bypass issues.

locally is your only hope if you want it cheap, the biggest discounts i've ever seen for them online is 10-15%
eheim filters will last for ever though, they're all i'll use!

id personally dish out the extra $25-$30 to get the 2217.
more room for media, plus it would be useful if you went with a larger tank in the future
