planning to pitch a vial of WLP655 plus some dregs into a gallon secondary.
Ideal ferm temp range for the 655 is said to be 80-85F.
Is that range intended primarily for the Sacch as a primary fermenter? (Roeselare states ideal range as 65-85F)

This beer will be aging for the next several months at around 68-75F.
I'm not interested in the Sacch performing in this mix), so should I concern myself with these lower temps or will the Brett and bugs still do fine at my temp range? should i opt for Roeselare, or will they both perform similarly?

(unfortunately the human occupants of my home take priority when it comes to temp)
 
68-75 is fine. You may want to pitch the 655 and dregs in primary next time. The dregs may become the more prominent bacteria in the finished beer.
