Power filter= Aquaclear 110
Canister= Eheim 2217 or fluval FX5

depends on your stock. but cannister will do the job.

I have always used the big biowheels/emperors on my 55g
I love them, but the ACs are supposed to be nice

The Ehiem 2215 or 2217 would be good filters for that size. The FX5 would be about 10x as much filtration as you would need on a 55g.

AquaClear HOB's are pretty good as well.

There are also some nice Ehiem knockoff canisters on Ebay for about $80 that do a decent job (check out the Jebao 304, I have two of them and love them).
