Free is the best! I would do a few LFS trips to see what is available in your area, unless your willing to order fish online.you can run 2 canister filters and maybe a pump for circulation.what fish have you kept in the past? Cichlids are my thing, you many choices

Conrats on the tank! have fun deciding your stock. For input, you need to give more clues as to what your interests are, such as community or Lg display fish. maybe what you've kept in the past & liked, or want to change up.
in the past iv kept oscars flowerhorns jack dempseys then i went salt water and had a queen trigger the got rid of him and did a reef tank im just trying to think of the stock limitations with a 150. back when i was deep into the hobby a FX5 was awesome anything else come out to trump the FX5?
depends on if you want to spend more or not. Eheim 2262 is great.
A 150G gives you some variety of good choice in fish.

Grab a cheap used 55 and build yourself a sump, acrylic is a breeze to drill so putting in your own overflow will be cake. After that, the possibilities are endless but as always I'd suggest a CA/SA chiclid setup but that's just my thing 
Awesome pick up, make sure to keep us posted on what you end up doing!
