T5 or T5/MH Combo?

[Californiareef]

What do you guys like better? To light SPS/LPS/Clams in 200g tank.
Also is there a good T5/MH fixture out that's really good?

I'd say to go with the MH combo

I went from 4x130w CF's to a 2x250wMH/4x65wCF setup
and couldn't be happier (only real issue is the fact that the MH's produce alot of heat, but I run a short lighting cycle)

I don't know about a "Good" fixture
but the Odyssea's are cheep
I like mine.
