help choosing a skimmer

I need to order a new skimmer for my reef tank. I have a 135 gallon with a 30 gallon sump. I have a large bioload on my tank, currently i have
  • lawnmower blenny
  • 2 lemon damsels
  • 3 bartlett anthias
  • 3"kole tang
  • 4"yellow belly blue hippo
  • 3"mimic tang
I also have 2 ocellaris clowns and a 3" yellow tang i will be adding from another tank. What skimmer would you recommend? Right now I am using an aqua c urchin that is just not sufficient. It will be in the sump under my tank. Budget around $300. I have been looking at the Octopus models and a Nautilus EX. what is the pro's and con's between the needlewheel and the recirculating?
