Looking for a new skimmer - choices

Having just plumbed and started the new Hayward pump, I get the sense that I need to speed up my quest for a through-the-wall skimmer for my Intex Ultra Frame. I have done some research here and looked for options on eBay. I'm narrowed down the search to four choices, for now:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hydro-Tools-Abo ... 5af14ed4ff

Slimline/Hydro, seems like an off-color, if these are actual photos. Cheapest option.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Standard-Thru-W ... 5d3fa3468a

A popular model with other Intex modders here. A sure thing.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/swimming-pool-S ... 5af1a3b2a5

Intriguing choice, the most expensive. Like the idea of grey to go along with my IUF.

The Hydro model in grey. Again, like the looks of the color.

I'm shying away from Hayward for now because I don't like the looks of that semi-circular handle on the weir. Looks like it would catch debris intended for the basket. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
 
One of the ebay shippers only wants $31.00 for shipping. I would buy on Amazon so you have easy returns in case you need to.

I would not be afraid to buy a Hayward. I have seen some nice ones on Amazon the included everything , including return fittings for $20-30 with shipping.
