It depends entirely on the temps of your house - the distance the bulb is from the basking spot, etc.
I would recomend ordering through www.reptileuv.com - they are extremely helpful, if you call them and explain your set up and ambient air temps etc they will recomend the right bulb for you.
I use a 100w Mega Ray from reptileuv in my beardies 90gallon tank - the basking spot is about 18inches from the bulb and we have relatively high ambient house temps.
You will probably only need the 100w - the 160w gets VERY hot - i use that for my Uro to get his basking spot to 130. But, if your basking spot is low or your house is cold you may need this.
