I wouldn't use a 55 gallon as a sump. You will be severely limited with what skimmer you can use. If anything, make it opposite- use the 55 gallon as your refugium, and use a 40 breeder style tank to hold the skimmer.
I would use a Sea Side Aquatics AS31, or an Octopus Extreme XS350.
Actually, I already decided to go this new route. I'm going to have the 40 gal elevated slightly above the 55 gal so it can act as an overflow.
