Default What PCs do I want??

I have a 90 Reef and was wondering what the difference between a 96w 10000k bulb and a dual 6700/10000k bulb was? Which will be the better light for corals, softies and some LPS. These are the exact bulbs I am looking at...
Current USA 96W Dual 6700K Daylight / 10000K White Sunpaq PowerCompact Bulb - Square Pin (Saltwater Aquarium Supplies > Lighting > Bulbs > Power Compact > Square Pin > 96 Watts > Daylight/ White )
Current USA 96W 10000K White PowerCompact Bulb - Square Pin (Saltwater Aquarium Supplies > Lighting > Bulbs > Power Compact > Square Pin > 96 Watts > Daylight/ White )


Also the same question on these, whats the diff and witch will be better?
Current USA 96W Actinic 03 PowerCompact Bulb - Square Pin (Saltwater Aquarium Supplies > Lighting > Bulbs > Power Compact > Square Pin > 96 Watts > Actinic/ Blue )
Current USA 96W Dual Actinic 03 / 7100K Blue Sunpaq PowerCompact Bulb - Square Pin (Saltwater Aquarium Supplies > Lighting > Bulbs > Power Compact > Square Pin > 96 Watts > Actinic/ Blue )

I would use the second one in the first group,and the first one in the second group.Coral and anemones need the actinics.Rhe whole tank needs the white lights.
