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!
