Default 1 or 2

I'm not sure whether to get 1 big heater for my 90gal+30gal sump or 2 smaller ones. What would you do? Thanks

Two smaller ones exactly. Better consistent water temperature throughout your tank.

Thanks for your help, I will get 2 smaller ones. Do you have any recomendations for brands? What brands do you use?
