If you are going with the Tek fixture (great choice) I would go with 6 bulbs,.. only if you are going to use allot of "True Atinics" would I consider the 8 bulb fixture.

I have a tank with the same footprint as yours, but it's only 12" wide rather than 18,.. (mine's a 50G) I used the 4 bulb retro and was able to keep SPS quite happy.
