I definitely would not mix and match the wide and regulars. Pick one style and stick with it. With regards to if 2 is enough for your 120 I would suggest browsing this thread a little more since it's been discussed many times.
I'd be interested if anyone with both could say how mixing them went on their tank. I've just upgraded to a 150 x 100 x 50 wide/shallow tank (definitely an optimistic footprint for coverage with my 3 A150Ws 
) and I'm wondering if it might be worth doing the 350W for this one, or something like using a mix of 150s/350s, or even doing something more interesting like using a moving light rail system on it.
I noticed the RB blog had this shot up from the recent SCMAS show -
captioned "Contest winner, with lights shut down. Workmanship is incredible.", no idea whose display that was or anything though. But it seems to show them mixing 350s and 350Ws on it.

I assumed they were a custom piece of metalwork they used - looks like some hollow metal tube, and the end that would normally screw straight into the back of the light is screwed to a piece of metal at the perpendicular instead, that then attaches onto the rear eyelet hooks (or the screws for them).

aim My Tank Is 40"x24"x24" not 120lt but 360lt.... 100cm x 60cm x 60cmh
OK on googling some more there's a writeup of the tank on the top link if you google "capistrano reef" "reef a palooza", with some more pictures of the setup itself. Apparently this is an in-store display tank that they moved over for the show.

I just switched from 3-150s to 2-350w over my 33 gal sps tank and I love it. I have sps on the bottom of my tank, 20" and they do just fine. I also have a clam.
But what I'm really interested in is getting back to the discussion on dimming capabilities of these lights with a third party. Anyone try it yet? I will get some picks of my tank tomorrow just made the switch today.

Would one wide angle a350 be enough to cover a 40 breeder Sps tank? What else could I add to supplement the a350. Par 30 bulbs?

2 a150s work?

Over a 40B? I don't think so. One 150 was perfect for my 12 gallon cube. I'd go with Qty (2) 350s.
