A 6x2 footprint with many hiding spots and easy territories is the smallest I'd want.

Agreed, your tank at the moment looks like its almost fully stocked, so considering that most if not all those fish have some growing to do still, its probably best that you plan to get the biggest tank you can afford thats 180G or above...

That way, you can guarantee you'll be either just right or understocked for the future...

If it was possible and I were you I would look for an 8ft 300. That would give even more room in the future and a little more space between territories. Only thing is I an not sure how common a tank like that is and your space for such a tank. Nice stock list.
