I use the SP445. The marks it leaves at the edges of my negatives are terrible. Tray dev would always leave scratches everywhere. I'd prefer to use something like the Jobo 3010. Currently I don't have the money for it. Would like to try selling some pictures, unsure if anybody'd buy this stuff in prints.

I have had very good success with a piece of plexiglass cut to fit the bottom of my trays. I labeled them with a sharpie so that they get used in the same chemical every time, and with the same side up. I wash them after each use and squeegee them off so they don't get water spots, although that probably wouldn't matter. I have found that too large a tray is not a good idea. YMMV
