Which filter? I suggest either a Fluval c4, or an aquaclear 50/70. Also, try to get some purigen. It reduce nitrates and your water will stay crystal clear and it is regenerable. You never need to buy activated carbon unless removing medication. I would try to get of the common gold fish. The other two would do just fine with those filters. If not, then up water changes.

Do you know anything about the c4? Worth the extra $10?
Refugiums are kind of like Wet/Dry filters, but you're right in there being more than just those! (The one I linked is one that a friend's been using.)
The The Fluval C4 has a small wet/dry area. Pretty good filter, too!
If you're willing to go above, I've heard great things about this Fluval C4 HOB. It's only $20 more too.
I'm a huge fan of Fluval. At least in my experiences, I've never been let down. I'm actually running a 306 canister for my 55 gallon right now and it's working wonders. Those canisters can be upwards of $300 dollars though, so if it were up to me I'd go with any Fluval HOB that has an equal or higher capacity than your tanks size, though preferable higher. It's always better to go above and beyond with filters. They're the instrument that dictates whether your fish are in clean water or not, which can mean life or death.
They way you described your water, I'd replace the filter as soon as possible. It sounds really old and worn out.
Good luck!
