The tank is 150 gallons. What type of overflow should I use. Currently going for center trapezoid. But I want to hear other peoples opinions. Possibly a corner. Or double corner. I want whatever will be the best. Thanks!

There is a chance that placement will not be important In determining success of your aquarium.
 
Doesn't really matter where you put it. Corner will cut off a side and middle may be intrusive towards center of aquarium. You could do a Ghost Overflow/external overflow I'd your going to have it drilled. This all depends on the dimensions of the 150 also...and where you're viewing it from
 
Would double drain be beneficial as well or no?
 
I centered mine, went with a 3 drain bean animal overflow for safety and redundancy. I opted for an Exotic Marine overflow, I liked his design, build quality, and Taylor was super helpful every time we corresponded.
