I second what mgamer20o0 said...craigslist can often be cheaper if not free and usually include filters etc. Sometimes even a stand.

I like your idea of having two filters, having an extra is also good for setting up a QT in a pinch.
I would say if your biggest problem is temp fluctuation the bigger the tank the better. Find a cheap one on craigslist or go for a 29 gallon new if you don't like that idea or can't find what you want on craigslist.org.
