Default Sump or canisrer

Should I add a sump with bioballs and filter floss and use a sock filter for my filter or a canister which is better

I know canisters are no good for a reef set up but isnt a sump not good for a planted set up?

canisters work just fine for planted tanks. The do have one draw back, they tend to not have enough flow. not a big deal, you either add a power head, up size them or add another unit.
