I think I'll have to pile onto the AquaC bandwagon. I'm running an ancient EV-90 model (100-gallon system) and have really liked it.
Their newer models have several design changes and are much much nicer. Being able to select any pump you want and the skimmer's ultimate simplicity are my favorite features. AquaC does do custom work too if you need something they have in a little shorter design. Proteinskimmer.com is their site where you can contact them.
Tunze would also be a great alternative, especially if you need something more compact.

The SWC's are nice but for your tank and requirements a WM MF201 is going to be a nice fit. One eden 5000 pump would be perfect size for a 150g display. They will run best in the 8-9" water level. If you were looking at the swc's the 180 would be the right fit, that being said the 180 cone's pump is its downfall so i never suggest them. The 160 cone is a bit small and the 230 cone is a bit large.
