Sand is best but I think will get dirty pretty fast with two Oscars in there, so I'd just go with gravel.....The best hang on back or power filter out there in my opinion are ones made by the brand aquaclear. I would get the one rated for a 70 gallon tank if you plan on putting two Oscars in the 55.
For your second 55 I would move out the rest of the fish that are with the Oscars in addition to the sharks you have in the other 29 gallon, as all three should be in a bigger tank eventually. And I'd also get the same type of filter for this tank.
If you have enough money for a filter you can look into getting a canister type of filter. They are more expensive but are better in a lot of ways.

i use 2 aquatech's HOB's from walmart. i used 1 on each side of tank. both are rated for up to 60g. i found that 1 just wasnt doing the job. both of them have been working great for almost 2 years now. but for buying 2 of them at that price you could probably buy a better one at the same price.
also like unwritten said those balas are gonna need a bigger tank. they require a minimum of 100g and are a schooling fish of 5 or more. dont get me wrong my bala does great in my tank but with the size that he is now i can definitely see where even my 55g is cramping him on some room.
