Which would be better for a mixed reef on an IM 30L

2 AI Prime HD
2 XR15
1 XR30

I currently run radions over my other tanks, so I am kind of partial to those & I could link them with ecosmart to control, but if I go AI I usually set the lights & forget them.

Since you already have Radions, I'd lean towards the two XR15's. I think you'd need to mount a single XR30 a little too high to provide full coverage on that size tank, but the two XR15's could be spaced nicely at a more normal height.
