I've decided to get a self-cleaning humidifier for my furnace.  There
seem to be different types, one of which is the old drum-type with a
run-off to keep fresh water in it, and another which allows water to
flow over some kind of plate and then down the drain.

Can anyone recommend one of these?

After a year, we are happy with our Aprilaire.

Yes, stay away from the rotating drum, otherwise known as the mold
growing culture zone of sickness.  Stick with the flow through type of
which Aprilaire is a very good brand and Carrier makes almost exact
copies for a bit less.  Cost more but better design.
