Filter recommendations for planted tank

Hello,

I've recently gotten into having live plants in my tank. I'm currently
running an AquaClear 500 on my 55 gal. I'm having to clean the filter out
often (to remove plant debris and not to clean the media) due to clogging.
Is there a filter out there that can handle plant debris without clogging so
easily?

Any thoughts/recommendations/opinions appreciated. :)

TIA
