Get one that has a guard, other than that it doesn't make a great deal of difference, lower wattage ones will just stay on for longer than higher wattage ones to maintain a set temperature.

I can't remember what turts you have, but you'll probably be upgrading the tank at some point in the near future, so make sure whatever heater you get can be used in the bigger tank

That should be fine, it's rated for tanks up to 270 litres and I would imagine your tank isn't that big?

As I said I can't remember what turts you have, but if they are a temperate species that doesn't require very warm water you should find that the heater isn't on very much, if at all.
