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.

well i found some of these replacement parts for the current usa lights. are these what you were talking about?
