Dry dummy loads are the better way to go and don't have to be expensive.

Take a couple of these bolted to a heatsink and maybe a fan if you want to do any extended testing.

Also keep an eye out on ebay and the ham classifieds for retired commercial dummy loads. They are rated for continuous duty so no worries about transmitting too long. I have one rated for 5kw that cost me less than something from mfj.
