Both have their advantages and disadvantages. I prefer a sump, but some say that they are too effective in breaking down ammonia and you get higher levels of nitrates.
Canisters are very good filters, but in my opinion require more care in keeping them working.
Stop by the "New Mariners" forum at FishGeeks for other advice on filtering your new tank.

go to a aquarium store no petsmart or petco or walmart. Find and old guy with a big line of people and ask him. he should solve your question. They usually have a lot of experience.
