Debating on which light to go with these are my options
Radion xr15 pro
Kessil a360x
Orphek Atlantik v4 compact (found someone selling cheap new in internet but I don’t have a internet router to set up at my house)
Which light would you choose for a 60g cube 2’ by 2’ by 2’

You cant go wrong with any of your suggestions. I've always used Radions on my DT's. So more bias for me, but they are imo awesome.
 
What coral are you planning on keeping? If you want high par lower in the tank you may want to consider a kessil 500
 
I am thinking about going with Radion and blade together but don't know yet I will keep doing research and talking to fellow reefers. Hopefully others will offer you advise on what you should get.
 
I have a 24” cube and it really needs two lights whatever you get if you plan on a lot of branching corals. I was able to go about 6 months before shading got to be too much.
 
That's a pretty narrow list of just a few popular bands .
On my similar sized tank I have a photon 24 with a 4 bulb t5 hybrid.

2 noopsyche k7s III pros would light it well and come with mounts. Tough to beat them at $200 each. I have six over the 180g in my showcase tank. They grow everything well.
