Which Nanostream(s) for a 40G breeder

What would you suggest for flow in a 40G Breeder tank? I thought about a 6025 & 6045. I also thought about a 6055 on a single controller but it cost a good bit more and I fear dead spots when using a single powerhead.
 
I have a nanostream 6025 and a koralia 2 in my 40 breeder. If I didn't have the koralia already I would have gotten another 6025. This is for a mixed tank but mainly rics, LPS, zoos and monti caps. So I guess I'd say get the two 6025's and if you need more flow you can mod them.
 
I use 2 6025s on my 40g breeder. More then enough flow, especially if you are using it as a breeder and there is no rockwork to break up the flow. With my return pump that's 30x flow, unmodded.
 
This will be my main display tank (until I can afford the 120G ;) )

Actually, I guess I need to decide what I'm keeping in it first. I want everything, but realistically I know that is not the smartest choice. Also, I would like to keep SPS but being sumpless I don't plan on having a kalk stirrer or other means of auto dosing calcium. That being said, I might just do LPS and softies. For those, 30x flow should be enough, right?
