Choosing between them

A size up is not always better: a filter rated for a bigger tank can push too much water for small or long-finned fish and needs more room behind the tank or in the cabinet; a heater sized for the gallons can still fall short in a cold room (the heater size calculator works it out for your room); a light that spans the tank can still be too weak for demanding plants. Each model page says what to measure first.
