What Halide bulbs do you use?

Ok I'm starting up a 40g cube sps tank, going with the reef brite hybrid 175w mogul halide/2x XHO led strips. What bulbs do you use and why? I'm obviously looking for best growth as I'm starting this tank dry. I keep seeing radiums as the go to?

Reefbrite twin arc 14k/14k 2 bulbs in one it alternates between the two filaments and makes the coral pop.

In the past I've used the Phoenix 14k. Good bulb.

Not sure if they have it for 175 watt but I'll never use anything else but Radiums unless I can't afford it or the hobby anymore lol

I've also had luck with cheap eBay Plusrite (or Pulserite?) bulbs, and since they're so cheap, I buy 3 or 4 different kelvins and switch 'em when I please.

Been doing some reseach, I think imma go with 10k maybe twin arcs. I think the 2 xho leds will be more then enough for the pop. This is slot of light for a 40g cube!
