Hey in my opinion I would get 2 200 watt geaters, that way they wont be working so hard to keep steady temp and I like the canister filters like an XP3 or the Eheim now has a built in heater unit keep the mess off the side of the tank. And you could always get a hang on H.O.T. Magnum filter with the micron filter to polish the water.
if you go with HOB filters then I'd go with 4 AC 500's (or I think they're called 110's now). I had 4 on my 150 and it was crystal clear. I do agree with having 2 heaters. I had 2 250 watt heaters on my 150. 
I love overdoing it, but you've taken it to a new level (4 PF's?)......If the tank is acrylic, you'll need just one 200 watt heater, glass probably would require 2-150-200 watters....
i have two 300 watt heaters on my 110 and they work great i always go over kill though just to be safe fro filters i run a magnum 350 pro system (canister) an emperor 400 (hangon) a penguin 350 (hangon) and an undergravel filter setup on ther reverse flow principle and my water is perfect and i think best bang for the buck canister has to be the magnum 350 their cheap and easy to clean
in my 100 gal tank i use a wetdry for the biogical filitation and a magnum 350 canister i put carbon in the 350. i only use one 150watt heater . i have vho lights they put off a lot of heat themselves. i have clear water .
sure would but why not just have two magnum pro systems then they would both have biowheels actually i would run one for both sets of biowheels then leave the other to produce current
I love wet drys i run that as my only filteration on my 90 gal and the water is crystal clear and my fish are pigs.
