I currently use the coralife 4x65 watt 4 lunar light fixture and i love it, however i will upgrade to a HQI/PC or T5 system once i get a deeper tank. Its hard to distinguish which brand is better than another, they all shine in different areas.
The best I can tell you is that find out which has the best longevity of parts. For example, I have never seen Current offer replacement parts other than bulbs, so what happens if you get a bad ballast after a year of having the light and the water runs out? Coralife has a complete line of replacement parts that you can order to replace everything from the lunar lights to the fan, so that may tell you that your initial investment will be upheld if you do have something go out and need to replace it, not buy a whole new fixture.
