Most tuners that cover the frequency range and the impedance ranges
should work well. Remember, that thy all are derated when looking into
a low impedance. So you need one that will operate at that power into
that impedance with a reasonable SWR. Of course the 160 and 75 meter
antennas are likely to have lower impedances and small frequency
excursions bring with them, large swings in SWR.
A tuner is a tuner is a tuner. It's just that to save on costs quite a
few have limited power into low impedances as well as SWR limits.
Those three parameters, Impedance, power, and SWR limitations where you
wish to operate are paramount.

Anything other than a Dentron MT-2000 or MT-3000 built
right & use a tapped inductor?
I know I'd need to add some capacitance for 160 & 80m.
Thanks!
