pump question

I am looking for a pump for my 220, after looking at who knows how many I narrowed it down to 2 different Sequence models. I am debating if I should go with a snapper or a dart. I figure either pump would be fine for a close loop and later run a oceanmotion super squirt or 4 way. I am not sure thou which is a better choose of the 2 ?

Snapper specs:

Closed Loops and Un-Drilled Tanks
Calfo Closed Loop design
Specifications:

Tank Size: 75-150gal
Flow Rate @ 4` Head: 1850gph
Max Head: 11ft
Amps/Watts: 0.9A/98W
Motor Speed: 1/8hp
Inlet/Outlet: 2in/1.5in
Dimensions (L x W x H): 11in x 6.57in x 7in
Motor Type: A.O. Smith
Out-of-pond construction - NOT Submersible!
Minimal heat transfer
Less than half the watt draw of comparable submersible pumps!
Ports are 2" FNPT suction and 1.5" FNPT discharge.
Units are pre-wired with an 8` cord and molded 115V plug.
Housing is molded of PVC plastic for added efficiency.
Quiet operation

Dart specs:

Specifications:
Tank Size: 100-200gal
Flow Rate @ 4` Head: 2820gph
Max Head: 12ft
Amps/Watts: 1.4A/160W
Motor Speed: 1/8hp
Inlet/Outlet: 2in/1.5in
Dimensions (L x W x H): 11in x 6.57in x 7in
Motor Type: Hubbel®
Out-of-pond construction - NOT Submersible!
Minimal heat transfer
Less than half the watt draw of comparable submersible pumps!
Ports are 2" FNPT suction and 1.5" FNPT discharge.
Units are pre-wired with an 8` cord and molded 115V plug.
Housing is molded of PVC plastic for added efficiency.
Quiet operation

Should I go with more gph than I need for the future if I up grade or go with the snapper. Either pump would have a 4' max head and would be a second pump added to my system.

Any advice/ help would be greatly.
Thank you and I appreciate anyone that took the time to read or reply.
Also this set-up is for (live rock and fish only).

FWIW, I'm setting up a 210g FOWLR with an OM 4-way. I opted for the Dart. Keep in mind that the OM is going to cut your flow, too.
