Heater size will depend on the temp of your room vs the temp you want the water. But for 110G you would probably want something in the 200-300 range. Many people choose to run 2 smaller watt heaters just in case one gets stuck "on". I myself only run one heater on a controller.

Any of the name brands will do the trick but i would stick to a titanium heater. Jager makes really good heaters...  Im a big fan of the Neotherm heaters.

That's a great answer.

Also, a recent discussion that covered all the bases, copied here for your convenience from the "Reefkeeping Tips":
