I could then use my single strip power compact lights and have room for the two bulb T5 light.

They don't *have* to be suspended, you can get hoods with MH in them. Or modify your existing hood with retrofit kits.
Of course, MH is not required if you are only having softies like zoas... just use what you have, add the T5s, and keep the corals in the upper part of the tank. Unless you want them on the sand bed (if you have one), then I would say go with MH... of course if you do that, you might as well get some LPS and then some SPS to go with your softies
