Bare bottom means less places for crud to hide, sand means natural look but crud trap so you'd have to deal with that. If I were going a FOWLR I'd probably go bare bottom and if you want you can put some sand in your sump with some critters/scavengers to keep it clean.

I live in South Surrey. What kind of Critters? Snails? Brittle stars? What's the advantage of having sand in the sump? Isn't sand a dirt trap?
