We're on the same boat. I'm getting two 55 gals, one for planted and one for a JD. I'm planning to buy a 2215 for the planted and 2217 for the JD. Not too expensive I guess.
I love Eheim Classics - I have both the 2215 and 2217. You could get away with a 2215 or 2217 for the 55, Either should be able to handle it. Don't know your budget for the filter, but you can get those both for under $100 on the 'net.
Another option is the Rena XP3 - you can get it for $74.99+ tax through petsmart, but you have to do an internet pricematch and apply the $30 coupon. It has fairly good ratings around the 'net as well.
