Howdy from Texas! I would suggest chaeto. The calerupa can do weird stuff on you. If you go to the algae barn, there is some good reading.
There is a debate on the light. I've got a 60w Lowe's grow light . They'll do fine. You can find light from $20 - 300. What ever way you want to fly.
I would run the light opposite of your display tank light.

When you say go sexual does that mean it grows out of control?

It can do that in a display, but it reproduces another way as well. Caulerpa for example builds up a reproductive “fluid.” When it is ready, the fluid all releases at once from the plants. It leaves the old plant behind, dead and decaying, and all that fluid goes into your tank. A huge cloudy mess. Keeping it trimmed and in a refuge may help avoid this.

EDIT: I should mention I am not a macroalgae expert, but this is how I understand it.
