Super actinic has that deep blue look where as the actinic white has a crisp white look. I'd personally would go for 2x24w UVL super actinic and 2x24w ATI aquablue. This will give you a slight blue tint like my tank. If you don't really like the blue tint, you can swap out of the the ATI aquablue for a GE 6500k daylight. Here are a couple of pics. The only diference between the two is I swapped out a aquablue for a GE 6500k daylight.
MADIMOD- What kind of reflectors are you using? Mine fit without any problems.
Toasty- You really shouldn't have a problem fitting all IC reflectors (great choice btw). You should double check for sure. Each one is 2.5" wide. As for comparing the two ballasts, I don't really know the answer. I had a couple WH5 lying around so I went with those. One of the things I really like about the WH5 is that they each can run 2,3, or 4 24w bulbs.

The efficiency will be the same as each bulb will be burning at 24w. The reason why I went with two is because then I can turn the actinics and daylights on at different times. I love looking at my tank with only the actinics on so it was a feature I must have. If you want, I can post of pic of only actinics on later tonight.
