I just visited Palau in the X'mas and am very pleased with Neco Marine
but I am sure you will do well with either Sam's or FnF
With less than 50 dives, Peleliu may not be a good choice as those dive sites are relatively advance (and a bit remote too, speed boat time>1hr)
As I was told, Neco Marine require >200 dives to dive Peleliu
Still, you have plenty of famous dive sites to go in the Rock Island area like blue hole, germen channel, etc.
Reef hook/ gloves are highly recommended with any dive sites named "xx corner", these sites usually associate with strong current and require you to stay in a specific spot to wait for the giants like sharks/ manta.
For the other dive sites you should expect mid- strong current and sometimes current will change direction during dive,
so my advice is to stay close with your dive guild and pay attention to their signals.
And if you plan to go in August, it is their typhoon season and rough sea is expected, so sometime you may not be able to dive out but only in-bay area.
It will also make a hard time travelling and climbing back to the boat.
PS Most of the dive operation in Palau offer nitrox for free, get your nitrox cert before going
