Check out the current usa led plus and the ray 2. The current usa one is less powerful, but you can get two for the price of the ray 2 and get just as much PAR. Go with the ray 2 if you want a simple and powerful light, and the current usa if you want cool storm effects and rolling clouds. I went with two of the current usa 48 inch lights on my 90 g. I can keep high light plants alive on the bottom but I will never have a carpet. Everything is growing great though, and I am having to trim about every other week. I keep the two lights on two different timers so I can have a longer viewing period while still controlling algae with a short high-intensity photoperiod.
Another thing to consider is if you plan on getting a ramp timer for cool fade in and out periods instead of the lights clicking on and off. I have one and it is very cool. To turn on and off it goes through a 15 minute "sunrise" or "sunset" so the fish don't get startled. My fish love it, and they get very active during the light changes (they also love the storms with lighting from the current usa lights). A big problem is that the ramp timer isn't compatible with the current usa lights. It causes all kinds of crazy problems and it is very frustrating. For example, some mornings it turns on my lights and sets the lights on heavy lightning instead of fading up to full lighting. Their website should have a detailed list of compatible lights, and I believe the ray 2 is on that list. If you want a ramp timer, go with the ray 2.
Edit: what is the depth of you 55g? Look up the PAR rating for each light at that depth and compare how much PAR you get for your money. With some searching you can find some guidelines on how much PAR you need for high light plants - I can't remember all the numbers right now.

It is a little weird that the shorter ones are more expensive than the longer ones though.
This one maybe?
