Which overflow?

Ok let's says you had to choose from the 2 ghost overflows that reef savvy has. Which one would you pick for a 120g with a 40 breeder sump and why?

Smaller unit can handle up to 1,500 gph which is way more than you'll need for a 120.

Thanks! 1.5" plumbing for a bean animal on a 120g does seem like overkill.

I'm a bit confused. Looking at beans site he has 1.5" pipe reduced to a 1" bulkhead. So being that I am using a ghost overflow should I get the one with 1" bulkheads and use 1.5" pipe to the sump? It's an external box with predrilled holes on the bottom for bulkheads.

Sorry if I sound dumb but I need a lil advice. My plan is to either use a eheim 1262 or a sicce 4 as a return pump.
