In the last 23 years I've used power compacts, Halides, T5 (ATI & coralife), Led (kessil a360 and Mitras LX7 and DIY). Without a doubt Halides and T5 grow coral/clams better than the LED. That is not a knock on LED at all and not to say you can't grow corals really well with LED. I have 2 kessil over my 30" 20g long growing hammer frags and they are SUPER happy. The kessils are also 7 years old.
I spent a TON on 6 kessil a360 and 4 mitras LX7. I now have 3 - 250w Halides over my tank with 4 mitras as supplemental.
You'll be able to grow anything you want with any of the options mentioned in this thread.
The easiest by far, IMO, is T5. Set it and forget it and grow anything you want like crazy.
I'd definitely run T5 or T5 hybrid if I had a 36" or less tank.
