I don't really know what to look for, but comparing the size of the spots, it looks like the big one to me:

Yeah, did you read my thread in freshwater gen disc? I originally got a Queen Arabesque but it looked washed out once I put it in my tank with the flourite, so I took it back and got this guy.
Man was that queen gorgeous though, I really wish I had eco-complete because she would have looked stunning!

Ugh, I was afraid of that 
I think I'll just take it back now then, before I get attached to it. It's a real cutie though
The Queen wasn't dull or anything, it was a beautiful fish. It just didn't look good against the multi-colored brown flourite gravel. Maybe I'll get it back though, I just don't want to be a pain in the *** since I already swapped the queen for the nugget today.
What else is there that stays small and is relatively easy to keep? I don't care for the bristlenoses, and the only others I saw at the lfs were clown, king tiger and royal. I know royals get really big, but don't know much about the other two. Time to check out planet catfish again

King tiger=meat eater
King royal tiger= wood eater
*gets a headache*
Just wanted to clear up the common name issue. you are talking about L066 right?
If so they are meat eaters, they get quite a bit larger than the queens, and the patterning is much larger stripes. But yes they share a resemblance because they are both Hypancistrus.

My friend has a few clowns in his 90 gallon - but you'd never know it because you never see them.
I think you should get the Queen Arabesque back.
A few other smaller plecs I've come across in research:
Peruvian Panther L174
Yellow Spot L262
Chocolate Zebra L270
Leopard Frog L134
Rio Jari Zebra L316
I get the feeling a couple of those are on the rare and/or expensive side...

I think I should get the Queen back too, but I like this guy much better and he looks a lot better in my tank. How long will it take him to outgrow this tank, because I'm planning a 75 or 125 gallon discus tank in the next couple of years. Will he outgrow it by then?
I don't think I'll get the Queen back simply because I didn't like the way she looked in the tank, maybe I'll go with the King Tiger. I don't know for sure which King Tiger it is though, I'll have to find that out first.
