I personally like Gyres for anemone tanks because the flow is typically more laminar, and less direct as with an MP40. You can place Gyres high in the tank without them sucking in air. MP40s that are too high in the tank will create a vortex and you end up with bubbles all over the tank.

Also, a MP40 can chop up a nem that gets caught in it. IME with Gyres, if a nem gets caught in it, it does far less damage.
