Default Newbie Question - skimmer suggestions for 90G

I am working towards setting up my first tank - 90 gallons. What suggestions do people have for what brand and model of skimmer I should look at. Also, I am starting with a majority of base rock and seeding it with live rock so it will be a while until I begin to stock the tank with fish. Do I need a skimmer right away, or only after I add fish?
