I bought the BrewersHardware 15 gallon non-jacketed and love it. I oxygenate through the elbow at the bottom (valve has to go right at the bottom of the cone to do this - butterfly hits the stone) using a B3 2" carbonation stone. You could probably carbonate similarly. I also bought the CIP ball and am using a sump pump with ~125* water and soap to do the main cleaning. It gets 99% of the junk out with no problem. I inspect and clean by hand after.

I also pressurize to 5lbs when racking to kegs, and it's pretty awesome to have the beer move so quickly all while under CO2.

I made two youtube videos of the conical - one is a brief overview and the other is CIP.
