Is one of these tanks easier to maintain than the other. I could go either way with the tank size. I have a wall to use.

Long and flat is easier to take care of.

Like jack said for cat sharks and rays, wider is better.
Having maintained tanks that held southern stingrays and clear nose skates, as well as juvenile bonnethead sharks I will say that very wide tanks are a pita to clean without sometype of way to either access both sides or have an over head walkway/crawlspace.
And fwiw, I find displays with smaller more active fish way more interesting

But it's your tank build it for what you want to keep.

Meat eaters, such as sharks and triggers, eat a fatty diet and will create much, much, much, much MORE nitrates then vegi eaters. Depending on the amount of LR, you'll end up doing massive water changes a LOT.

Okay, this has helped a lot with narrowing stuff down. Thanks everybody!
