This is what I was reading to spark this question because based on this they are different types of skimmers and Beckett is not a "Brand Name" but a different type of Downdraft/Spray Injection type skimmer that uses a spray head instead of a force of water.

Beckett IS a brand name, but not of a skimmer company. The quote you included in your post says this:

"they use a special nozzle, called a “Beckett” after the pond company that makes a similar nozzle for pond aeration.
The only innacuracy in this quote is that it says "similar" nozzle; in fact, we use the actual pond fountain nozzle made by the beckett company. Now, you're right in that the term "Beckett" is commonly used to describe a type of skimmer that uses this nozzle, but that's where the word came from. BTW, downdraft skimmers are different; you don't see too many of them any more, but a few years ago they were the rage. They too have a venturi of sorts, to let air in the downdraft tube, which then mixes with water as the stream crashes over a stack of bioballs. As you might expect, those bioballs got pretty dirty!

For your tank, (approx 100-120gall if I remember) any one of the decent quality beckett or spray induction (aquaC) skimmers will work well, provided you use the right pump. If you're planning on heavily stocking your tank, don't be afraid to get a skimmer "rated" for a much larger tank. Manufacturer "ratings" for X gallons are little more than marketing techniques; there's certainly no objective criteria. You might send Gator a PM; he's selling a nice beckett skimmer that would do the job well.
