Powerheads/placement on a 60g cube?

RC members were really helpful in answering a previous question about protein skimmers, so I'll throw another one at you guys. What kind of powerheads would you guys place in a 60g tank, and where. I was going to order two WP-40 but It's probably overkill. One would be more than enough but I'm concerned about deadspots with the cube. Any help appreciated :bounce3:
 
I had 4 Tunze 6045s. One in each corner in the back.
I then moved the two bottom ones up to the center.
Then I just took the 2 of those out. It was just way too much flow.

If I had a choice, I would have preferred using wave controllable, directionable Tunze.
 
My MP10 is placed on rear wall, right side and 7" below the surface. I run it at 60-70% day and 30-40% at night, usually. Sparsely populated mixed tank and it seems to provide sufficient flow but placement is a consideration in a small tank with these powerful pumps. I can add another anytime without consideration of "over killing" flow.
