It's up to you really, I'd probably go with the: 2.5ft wide, 2ft deep with 1 ceramic screw and on flur.
My adult Stimson's are in:
Length: 90cm
Width: 60cm
Height 60cm
I use a cermaic screw in heat emitter, with cage cover and thermostat.

I'd go for the one with the ceramic screw fitting. That way you can still provide heat at night, with a ceramic heat emitter if you ever wanted to.  |

either, and if you wanted to, it would be easy to change the bayonets to ceramic fittings too. ((reccomended: by a electrician of course  )
I recently picked up 2 4x2x2ft enclosures with hard wired thermos for $180.
All we had to do was change the vents in one and change the fittings to ceramic

the fluro is for lighting

As Forensick is implying the flouro would be for daylight simulation only and not reqd for uv a or b. I think he is implying that !!!!!!!
