Which Flash to get

Danny's right, the Metz is the highest powered P-TTL flash but in the real world I doubt you'd notice that much difference between a gun with a GN of 54 and one with a GN of 58 - both are pretty powerful!
What is it that you need so much light for? If it's an indoor environment wouldn't studio flashes be preferable?

It's strange to say but the AF540FGZ has more power then the Metz 58 but the Metz can reach a bit further.
focal lenght in mm | 24 | 28 | 35 | 50 | 70 | 85 | 105
Metz 85 -------- GN | 29 | 31 | 35 | 42 | 46 | 52 | 58
AF540FGZ ----- GN | 32 | 35 | 39 | 45 | 50 | 54 | x
Sorry it's quite hard to make a table here so hopefully you can read it.
The info comes from here link a must read btw!
