No experience personally with any of these, but I did notice they all use CF for the supplemental lighting, which is not the best choice these days. T5HO or even VHO for fluorescent supplementation may be a better choice. Although VHO is getting more difficult to source, I've read many posts reporting that they are the best if you're looking for any kind of actinic supplementation. I believe CF for marine aquarium use will also fade out in the not too distant future (MH too for that matter), with the advent of improved LED systems.
You may also want to provide some info on what you plan to keep, e.g. sps corals or no, if you require useful feedback on the lighting systems you're considering.
