Help with lighting options

I have a 24" high tank that I'm converting to a reef. I want to keep a few lower demanding sps towards the top and some softies lower in the tank.

Which lighting option would be better:

250w MH

or

combo 175w MH w/ 2 75w VHO's

The combo provides more watts and gives me the ability to add some actinics but I don't know if that makes up for the difference in strength of the extra 75 watts of MH.

Thanks
