Looking at getting new lights for my 70 gallon tank. It's 48x19x20. Looking at either 2 radon xr 15 g6 pros or 2 reefled g2 115. Any suggestions?

2 radions is a good start but 4 would be optimal for xr15's. 2 will not cover that system long term. I ran 4 on my old 80 growout and run 3 on my current 50.

May I suggest ReeFi Uno 2.1 lighting. I used the 2.0 version and liked quite a bit and even though the price has gone up some they’re still slightly less expensive than the Radion.
 
Nicrew hyperreef 200w.

Telegrahm did a spectral analysis on quite a few LEDs. Nicrew blew Radions out of the water with spectrum, spread and cost!
 
The radions won’t cover that tank.. I’m not familiar with the other lights myself. You’d need a minimum of xr15 and it’s pricey! Meridians would be my option
