Any of the royals- imo- are stunners!
Also three-beacon and pinecone seem to be wowers.
Dang, what a terribly wonderful predicament....

I second the royals recommendation.
I also love the sunshine plecos, they prefer a meatier diet. I feed mine blood worms, shrimp and pellets.

Royals will eat your plants.

Sunshine, really any of the Scobinancistrus are great. Plants will be safe, though they do dig. If you're only attaching plants to the wood, should be fine.

I've had several L095 which aren't very common and are AMAZING. Very peaceful and slow moving, do well in groups. Probably my favorite pleco I've owned.
I can't say if they'd eat your plants or not but if you're going with things like Java or Anubis, you should be OK.

If you definitely want plant friendly and showy, go for some nice Pseudacanthicus.

And then there's Luteus...

With a tank that size, if you've doing a sand bottom you should also look at some of the odder whiptails too. A group of true Chameleon or Spoon face would be another nice addition.

Do they have to be large? If not then I would go with bristlenose plecos in every variation they come in.

Any of the Psuedacanthicus or Leporacanthicus if you don't mind a meaty diet.

I have a tank full of plants and haven't had any issues with my 3 Royals bothering them.
