I would go with 150s unless you are planning to have corals very close to where you place them. I use one on 6ftx2ftx1ftH tank and have a scp-70 on other side and it is about right. Think with a standard depth i would want the 150 on each side

I have two scp-150s in my 125, one on either end in a master/slave configuration and although I generally keep them pretty low its not too much flow for my tank. I wouldn't go any lower than the 150 if I were you.
Also, most people don't realize this but the number in the model is the length of the tank that they reccomend the pump being for in centimeters. So the 150 is reccomended for about a 5 foot long tank.
