Question HOB filter for a 20 gallon setup

I just got a 20 gallon long tank and am looking forward setting it up. for now I want to use a hang on back filter. I know that i can use floss in the filter, but should i use anything else like a filter pad or activated carbon?

you could use matrix for bio, chemipure, purigen or polfilter for chemical filtration

really any aquaclear will work, If you have the space the 70 is great, lots of flow and can do almost anything in it, especially with a media basket from intank. I am using a AC20 because I have my filter hanging over the side, not the back.
