Circ pumps that take care of the filtering have the advantage of lower energy usage and noise reduction as opposed to having the main pump coming on 6 hours per day to filter plus if the spa has ozone it will run 24/7 on a circ pump. Having said that, you don't buy a spa based on whether or not it has a circ pump so what you should do is schedule a wet test for both spas and see how each fits/feels.

And look under the hood to see how they are built.
