Rich,
There are many people who rate the Rena filters, I'm not one of them. All I've ever had from them is grief, noisy, unreliable, inefficient and one leaked! They are also expensive in the UK.
I have used the eheim wet/dry filters and they are fantastic at bio filtration, possibly the most efficient cannister filter I have used for this. I am also a fan of the very simple eheim 2217 type filters, these are super efficient, easy to work on and very reliable, they are also reasonably cheap in the UK, not sure in the USA though. The 2217 is rated up to 160 gals so would be adequate on it's own, however they also do bigger versions the 2250 & 2260, though the 2250 would be more than adequate as it does up to around 270 gals.
As this sounds like a display tank then sponge filters are probably out, even though they are simple, efficent and cheap
I wouldn't bother with HOB's, only 'cos I don't like them.
