Lots of options there. I like tangs because they don't eat corals, they swim a lot, and will make short work of most algae. Just be mindful of the tangs you select; a powder blue and a powder brown may not get along. If I put a mirror in front of my tank, the naso goes ballistic!!
Lots of small fish would be really nice.

When you stock a large reef you need to consider exactly how your and others will view it.
For example, if you stock it with small fish such as gobies, they will be difficult to see if you are more than a few feet from the tank. On the other hand, to take in a really large tank, you need to stand back from it.
Also, even on a large fish very fine color patterns on a fish may be lost if you view it from far away. That school of anthias might end up looking like a bunch of goldfish.
Choose fish that will show up well when viewed from a distance, but don't be afraid to put in smaller fish that you'll only see close up. Naturally, you don't want too great a size difference, since you don't want them eating each other.
A few general fish I'd choose would be tangs, hawks, possibly smaller "reef safe" angles, cardinals and some of the more peaceful damsels.
