Default I want to use MP40's, but...

Please refer to the following awesome MSPaint drawing for reference.

The back of my tank is 30" by 18". The overflow in the middle takes up a bunch of room, and the returns on the sides have bulky elbows which basically prevents putting an MP40 anywhere on the top half of the tank.
I orignally wanted to run two MP40's on this, but it looks like the area available consists of a small 8.5" by 9" window in the bottom corners. Is this really feasable, or am I destined for a sandstorm? I'm under the impression it would just make a mess and not provide much useful flow.

Alternatively I could go with some Tunze 6105's, or some good old Koralia's.

I forgot to mention up top, this tank is a 40" long 3 sided tank, so the powerheads are hopefully moving a good chunk of water a fair distance.
