I have a 5 lb for my 75. I've had it going a month and haven't used much. Since your tank is larger, you may want to go with a 10 lb.

Around here a 15# bottle was only $10 more than a 5# bottle, so it didnt make much sense to go with anything but the 15# unless you were limited in size. Its lasted me a year so far on my 75g but I dont run it that fast.

I'd get as big a tank as will fit in your cabinet and as heavy as you can comfortably move yourself.
carpguy has it!!
Schlep factor from point a to b is a real consideration.
