Hello, as for best I mean for both color and growth, but if I had to choose, I choose color. In 250 watt MH ,Radium 20k HQI, Pheonix 14k HQI, Iwasaki 14k HQI. I prefer opinions from people that have actually used them. And no thanks not interested in LED, my Radion's days are numbered, going back to MH....no, running back to MH. Thanks
 
I have a 125 running 3x 250 watt radiums on m8o ballasts and have a 40 breeder running a 250 watt de phenix on m80 ballast in lumenarc mini i think, radiums are in lumenbright mini's. I don't notice much color difference, the radium has a little more blue and par is better. Not saying the phoenix doesn't have go par as I have tested a 75 gal using 2x 250 de phoenix on lumatek ballasts and pfo pendents and have just as good of par as lumenbright reflecters. I think you have a few more options going se over de reflecters, and you can get the radium and phoenix in se bulbs. I would vote radium then phoenix. I have thought about tring phoenix but not much of a price break with the se version.
