Long term, any trigger would need a bigger tank. 55's simply are not large tanks and triggers are fairly large and active fish. Crowd them, particularly with other fish and the aggression could be intense. In a species only tank, with perhaps one fish, an undulate would be a consideration. I wouldn't plan to keep any other trigger in a 55 for life.
The eel, puffer, maybe a hawkfish or large maroon clown would be cool. Another often overlooked fish are the hamlets. Colorful and a good mix for a smaller aggressive tank.

With an undulate, anything else in the tank is at risk. Undulates, IMO, do best when kept by themselves. They are, for the most part, nasty fish that don't like anything else in their vicinity. I don't think I'd put a snowflake eel at risk.
Lighting isn't a main concern. Filtration should be heavy given the waste. I'd throw a decent skimmer on the tank and have some serious flow to keep waste moving and allow the skimmer to pick it up.

You could add another fish to that list if you get a protein skimmer. How about a harlequin tusk, large damsel, tomato clown or dwarf lionfish?
