I guess it depends on how much room you have. With my 55, I had to do a hang on because I didn't have enough width in my stand to fit a tank, or enough room near my tank to setup another tank.

As with everything in this hobby go as big as you can with room and $$. For a 55g depending on how the stand is built and rather or not you already have the tank going will determine a lot. Something around 20-30g would be great if you can make it fit. If you need something custom to fit talk to Ace and you cant go wrong ;)

from what i have understood i would have to have an overflow leading to it since the tank is not drilled

you are correct, you will need a overflow. aquarium designs sales several diffrent sizes to choose from.
