Reasonable "RBA" tank to buy?

Are you specifically looking for Genisis RBAs? If you are, do you have experience with them and what wick material will you be using?
Taifun GT and GS are both good RBA's. The GT is easier to build than the Kayfun and less prone to leaks.
The AGT is a Genesis-style tank. IMO they have a much higher learning curve than the Kayfun-style tanks. Most leak if not kept upright, and many require tilting while vaping. Stainless steel mesh is more difficult to work with than cotton or silica.
I recommend looking into a Kayfun-style, perhaps a EHPro clone of the Kayfun Lite Plus.

Luxor Vapes sells the HCigar 3.1 KFC... very nice unit
and if your up to it the RSST with glass tube is nice and you dont need to use SS mesh
use 3mm silica in the tank to the build deck, place cotton on top of the wick and lay a horizontal nano coil in the cotton bed... cotton stays "dripper" wet and it doesnt leak... I leave mine lying down 90% of the time and only leaked once when I forgot to replace the fill hole plug...

EH pro kayfun. It works very well. I've got an RSST and the EH pro kayfun, the kay fun is my #1 device. The RSST tastes a little better, but not enough for the added work, and the fact that I can't throw it in my pocket, and drive down the road.
Like everyone else I recommend a kayfun, I had an aga-t and it would leak in my pocket when I was out and about

Hmm I should forget about using something regarding meshin. As for the kayfun it isn't for me due to the lack of air flow and leak issues in the past. The posts are rather tedious to lay those wires low.
At this price, it would be worth it to give the Kayfun another go. Air flow and leaking are usually the result of the build quality, which you can get better at.
The Taifun is a fantastic RBA in all ways, as well.

Similar to a kayfun, meaning bottom coil type of tank? Or closer to the AGA you posted, which has a top coil deck called a genesis style tank?
For tanks like the Kayfun, that aren't the Kayfun, you can give the eXpromizer a try. I think it has a slightly larger deck for building, which may make things easier, but you'll still need to wrap the coil legs around the posts. Decent price for an authentic tank in this category at $69 from Vapinart.com, but the workmanship can be a bit iffy on the threading, especially around the chimney area. Unlike a kayfun, you do not need a screwdriver to adjust the airflow, nor do you need a syringe tip for filling. Once it's built, it's similar to large bottom coil clearos in that you can access the coil in the base while keeping your juice in the tank.
The Fogger V4 is also a bottom coil, rebuildable tank. You can get a genuine one for $30, making it the most affordable option. I don't have personal experience with this one, but I think the latest version has a larger deck for building.
The Aqua is another one, only this one uses thumbscrews, rather then screws for the posts. Don't know if that would be easier for you.
Genesis tanks, like the AGA ones are types where the coil is built on a deck on top of the tank, rather then the bottom. Some people find these to be more challenging, as they are typically used with stainless steel mesh or cable as wicking. There are extra steps in oxidizing the stainless steel, and preventing shorts, but the benefit is that you supposedly will not need to rewick or recoil for a month. I had a Kraken clone from Hcigar which is in this category, but I only set it up with cotton wicking. Haven't attempted stainless steel, like it was meant to. As a result, it leaked while on its side and I had to tilt it to make sure that juice reached the coil while vaping.
Oh, and if price isn't an issue, the Erlkonigin is my favorite one. It's a bottom coil, chimney style tank kind of like the Kayfun, however the way the deck is set up, it pretty much holds whatever you wrapped your coil on in place for you as you mount the legs to the posts. A lot of people find this to be the easiest, even if they need to wrap the legs around screws like a Kayfun. It comes with a copolymer tube for a tank, but it's held in place by o-ring similar to a cartotank, which means you can use a glass tube as well. Fill ports are on the top and easily accessible, and the air flow is also adjustable without a screwdriver or tool needed. There is no USA vendor for this, so you'll need to pay $20 for shipping on top of it being a pretty expensive tank though. Vapes like a dream however, and much lighter then any of my other rebuildables.
+1 for taifun, tank wise I don't think anything touches the ease of building and the sealing. I have been using mine for a few weeks and haven't had a single leak or gurgle.

where is everyone buying their taifun GT? I really want one but not sure if I feel like waiting a month for fasttech to ship one

I've actually had better luck with clones than with brand names in some cases. You want something large or something small? single wick or dual? light draw or heavy?
