go BIG
I push almost 5000 gph through my 150 gal, although most of it is through a closed loop. I use a super dart gold on my closed loop (4300 gph) and a little giant (730 gph) for my overflow, sometimes this doesn't seem like enough. I should have listened to Kevin and got the pump one size up, it's easy enough to throttle the pump down or to add a tee to supply other equipment. In my opinion, bigger is always better with a pump, dial it down a bit, sometime down the road, a little extra gph is a good thing. Just my thought,
Bob

Have a Barracuda in a fish room but no way would I consider it for the same room as the display. Way too loud.
Got a Dart below the tank on a CL, no real issues there for sound levels. Do think about how you want to get your flow. Nothing wrong with just the 1200gph (or less) from the overflows but then using CL or hi flow power heads within the tank. All the displays turnover doesn't have to go through the sump.
