Tell us what your plans are for the tank in the way of just fish, sps coral, lps coral?  I love leds myself. Tank inhabitants will dictate what lighting you need.

For just LPS and softies, I would recommend 3 16" fixtures.  I run the Ocean Revive Arcitc S026's which are discontinued but they offer the Arctic T247 which are the same with the addition of a built in timer.
