We also use Hakko products.
The best method .... in my opinion.... is the charcoal filtered fans
for each station, good , simple, effective and non intrusive.
We bought a big expensive Weller 4 iron extraction system
which was not satisfactory as 1. It was too loud.. even in  a sound
reduced enclosure (with vent) and 2. the plastic tubes and iron pick
up inlets were very intrusive.. I found my techs were actually
disconnecting them so they could see what they were doing.
