tank will be 130 gallons. 52' length, 28' wide

I would think any pair of the clarki complex would work. They are a larger species. Maroons of course would also work. Find a species in this complex and you should be fine.

1 warning though I have had pairs of clowns kill angels, wrasses, etc. They might turn out to be the bullies if they decide to breed

Tomato clowns may work, they are on the more aggressive side for clowns. Just look at clowns that are more aggressive, maroons may be too aggressive and ocellaris or percula may be too passive, find someone in the middle.

Yeah - I would stick with Clarkii, Maroons, or Tomato's. Possibly skunks - orange or pink. They can hold their own IMO. I had a pink skunk in my FOWLR and it did just fine.

i was looking at maroons and saw that they get pretty big, I'm thinking i might try them out.. does anyone have experience with a pair and how aggressive they can get?

Haha I was looking for someone with a good outcome lol.. But I should listen to your advice.. Would a single marroon be ok?

Would be more concerned about those triggers outgrowing that tank, and/or snapping because of the size and taking out your other fish.
