This really does depend on what you intend to keep. If you want exclusively SPS and clams, 400w is likely the best. If you want to mix things up, maybe 250w and then keep the higher light demanding critters near the top. The thing with 400w is that they will be enough for whatever you want to keep, and if you need to , you can raise them higher to reduce the light hitting the bottom of the tank. Cost-wise, 250w and 400w are roughly the same.
