I have a 180g. For your tank, I'd go with 2 x WP25 to stir things up. Even if you add a hydor, the static flow always greats dead zones where you'll get detritus build up. In your tank, that will likely be on the rock and still need basting. Using a couple of variable speed pumps will reduce (but not eliminate) that happening.
I will occasionally move the pumps around to change the flow, this tends to stir up the dead spots.
