I like the t-5 myself. I have a few of them to get things started. from there they go under a 400 MH for a couple weeks until they show some sex, then its off to the flower room. Oh and if you want to do some low budget T-5's head to lowes or HD. Both carry them and I bought 4 of them (4' Double bulb fixtures) and with cords and bulb they came out to 200. Thats less than a 4' 4 bulb T 5 at a hydro store. It may not look at pretty but I also like the adjustment of every 2 bulbs so I can run multiple items at differing heights and get the bulbs down there close.
