My new lighting should be here any day now. After aclimating the softies to the new T-5's what type of corals does everyone think I should try next? Im definatly looking to add some color to my tank.

I have mostly softies, but just added a branching hammer tonight, which looks awesome.

Most 'LPS' corals are fairly easy to keep and there are loads of shapes and colours to choose from. IME hammers, torches, frogspawns, candycanes, brains, acans, fox and bubbles are all very forgiving and beautiful to look at.
If you're really looking for colour, in addition to adding LPS corals you can do some amazing things with shrooms and zoas; it's hard to find blue corals but blue shrooms seem pretty common, and zoas come in every colour of the rainbow. Yellow frilly leathers also give a tank a nice bright 'pop' of colour
