You will need an electronic ballast I think. Here is a link to a much used DIY MH project on nano-reef.com as I think it will answer some questions.

No change from my xm bulb I had before, i'd say if you want a cheap light do that instead. Depends on what you have in your tank i'm sure, but they've worked great for me so far, and i plan on buying more for next time.
MH or halogen?

These fixtures need only an external ballast ($30) and a proper bulb to be MH device. See my link above.
