I have been very happy with the 6 that I have and for the price they are well worth it .

That’s from a different model with a different controller.

I'm thinking of getting the 166-25w for my 40 breeder. Right now I'm running two HG042 power heads, but would prefer a gyre. Thoughts?

Hard to beat a gyres flow! If you do go with one have spares to swap out/in while cleaning. They require frequent cleaning to keep flow consistent.

A lfs near me has two reefwave 25s on the back wall of their softie tank which is probably about 60g "cube". I have an 80g "cube" and was considering buying two gyres to put on my back wall. I like the price point on the hygger and have read a few threads by OP. What are some thoughts on putting two of these on my tank? Which model? I was also looking at the Fzone gyre if anyone has compared these two brands.

Trying to figure out which size I need is a PITA

Tank size and flow rate. Size those numbers to one. Then go one size bigger! Can always run it at lower speeds.
