youve seen it before: Oasis vs. Hydra

I use an original oasis. works fine. got it for free.

If i had a couple hundred bucks for humidity i'd probably buy a hydra instead.

I also use beads. ... in tandem with the oasis.

Your dimensions really aren't big enough for an active humidification unit. Just by having the container of distilled water you could run the risk of having a high RH by evaporation. Beads are easy and will last forever if you take care of them, plus you can get a Lb of beads which is almost 3x the amount you need for about 30$. In my opinion active humidification should only be considered if you are pushing 8 cubic feet or more. I could be wrong but you can't go wrong with beads.
