Since day one I've been using a Sunlight Supply Maristar 72 inch 3X250W 4X39W T5 Metal Halide fixture with Galaxy Ballasts. Haven't had any problems.
I've changed up my bulbs quite a few times. Started with Ushio 14K, then tried Phoenix 14K then cheap eBay 15K bulbs. All worked just as well. The Phoenix bulbs were my favourite but a bit pricy. Current eBay bulbs are cheap and work just as well but don't last as long.

I ran t5s for a couple years switched to halide for a couple more and now run nothing but LEDs. I have 2 Vegas and 2 radions over my display tank (All going away this week when my mitras come lol) and a sol over my frag section. I love the adjustability, lower power consumption and not having to change bulbs constantly all without losing the halide shimmer

Began with T5HO, added MH & more T5HO. Ditched all that last April - been running a DIY LED with 27 10watt multichip LEDs since then. I like, critters like.

I'm running a 6' 14 bulb Aquatinicts T5 fixture with good results. Bulb changes are pricey though. Also have 6 3x1w moonlight LEDs strictly as nighttime viewing.

Looking forward to all that LED goodness!
