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.
