I would say CO3 for two reasons:

1. Not much of a difference in terms of price
2. Those skimmers are rated for light bioload and I always like to half the value for heavier bioload. One thing I did learn is "bigger the better" for skimmer. I used to think about over-skimming but apparently, its just a myth since we feed out tank properly (by that, I mean atleast once per day unlike many others who feed once every other day or less; for them, over skimming is not myth).

Just my 0.05
