Skimmer & Pump for 90g

I'm looking for the best bang for the buck skimmer for a 90g with a 30g sump.  I was thinking a ASM G2 with Sedra 3500 pump.  I could also get a used ASM G3 with a Sedra 9000 pump.  Is the Sedra 9000 overkill?  should I be considering something else?

If it will be a heavily stocked reef i would go with the G3.  It is very difficult to 'overskim'.  I have used ASMs for several years and am very happy with them.  The sedras are excellent, low maintenace pumps.  

Many here like the Octopus brand but i have no personal experience with them.

For the money the ASM are decent....They can perform very well.  Not a fan of the G3's though....The G3 would be a better fit, but possibly the G2 with a mesh wheel mod would work.

Performance!!!! I've tried quite a few G3's and thought their performance on that model and bigger were lack luster. There smaller units nice. I will have to dig up a pic of what the smaller can do.
