Yes charlies sump is a good setup. I just got mine up and running yesterday. I will post some pics of it on my 265 gallon thread. You can customize it to fit your needs. A 40 breeder should be fine for your tank. I used a 75 gallon for mine.

I have an acrylic sump that came with my 180 when I picked it up. I didn't want to use it so it is sitting in my garage. The only thing it is missing is the siphon tube and a return pump. I'd gladly trade it for any one of the filters you listed above. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.
