What magnet should I get?

So I am getting a 3/4 inch glass tan and was looking for a cleaning magnet. I was looking at the algae free brand. They have two (tiger shark and great white) that clean 3/4. Anyone have these? Is the great white overkill? Which would you go with?

Tank dimensions are 36” x 40” x 31”

Thanks
Mike

I`ve got the tiger shark for a half inch acrylic and it does a good job..Plenty of strength, should work well on thicker glass..
