Powerhead recommendations?

I will be setting up an sps dominant tank very soon. I'm pretty set on Tunze powerheads but unsure which ones will be best. Tank dimensions: 32"Lx24"Wx20"H

I'm thinking a pair of 6055's but should I be looking at a pair of 6095's instead?

The flow velocity is nearly the same, on the 6095 the gph is higher and the flow is wider, I would generally go 6095 and turn them down as needed unless the tank is long and narrow.
