Which Fixture Would You Recommend for a 40 Gallon Breeder?

[Puff]

tank measures roughly 36" x 18" x 16".

im trying to decide whether to go for metal halide or T5s. im trying not to break the bank, and have narrowed it down to 6 or so fixtures (although im still up for suggestions!).

which of these would some of you recommend?

i was at Seahorse_Fanatic's house today and was very impressed by the 250W aquamedic that he was running on one of his tanks, so that is at the top of my list right now.
