you won't go wrong with a duraglas. that is what i currently have..it's still running fine and it's been 4 summers for me and i'm guessing at least 4 years before that if not longer before i owned the house. it does not leak and only thing i've done on it is changed the lid because the gasket developed a crack (would have likely been fine if i lubed it with silicon spray but my understanding was it was permanently lubed. i suspect the gasket had been replaced prior and quite frankly, it would not have hurt for a 5 dollar can of silicone spray from napa to spray it once a season anyway)
