Depends on what your longterm plans are for them. Will you be able to upgrade for either of the fish? Sun cats get around 18", and the Hemi gets around 25" according to Planet Catfish. So a 55 would be too small for either longterm. http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=801
If you are able to provide for one, which would you rather have? It seems that the Hemi would be the rarer one of the two, but it's your call.

go with the suncat...its more of the kind of fish that can go with different setups, and won't be particularly big for a while, so you can grow it out with somewhat smaller fish if necessary
The answer is no, I already told you that. It gets WAY too cold for any tropical species to survive more than a small portion of summer in MI.Loves severums;4487322; said:
I voted for Sun cat. According to planetcatfish.com, you could run into problems with tankmates living with Hemibagrus nemurus.

An aggressive loner. As with other Hemibagrus specis, very intolerant of other fish inhabiting the same tank. What it cannot eat, it will kill out of spite.
