Default Light Choice for 60G Starphire SPS Tank

So I'm in the midst of setting up my custom 60 gallon tank (36"L x 24"D x 18"H) and I plan to do mostly sps and some Zoa's as well. Now my biggest issue is deciding on a light that would best suite my requirements. The original plan was to go with LED, and I was going to go with the 24" orphek unit, however I am still I'm the deciding mode between LED, MH, and T5. Now if I was to go the MH route what would be the best wattage MH, and how many eg. 2-150W or 1-250W? And would i go with a MH/T5 unit? If I was to use MH I would be using the 14k pheonix bulb, and KZ Fiji Purple T5 bulbs. Or another option was to go with a Tek 6x39w T5. I like the option of LED and MH due to the shimmer in the water. If you have any input feel free to let me know. Thank-you in advance.
