Thank you all for your input!

Not sure if my decision is easier as it seems all can be good choices. I think I may go with a combination of all. I'm not in a major hurry as I want to go at everything at a slow and carefull pace.
Once I have my plumbing issues resolved (my pump has not been delivered yet) and a final decision and purchase of lighting (T5 6 or 8 bulb) I think I'll start actively purchasing LR through the classifieds and nice pieces from various LFS's. Thanks for the link to the Eco Rox! I think supplementing the live rock with some choice pieces from there will allow me to get creative with aquascaping. I'm really going to try and avoid the "fruit stand" pile of rock look.
Will keep you all updated in my build thread.
