Time for new T5 bulbs, need advice

My bulbs in my Current Nova T5 are getting old and I want to replace them with a better bulb. I see that many people are using the ATI bulbs. It is the four bulb fixture, what do you recommend I get for my actinics and daylight bulbs. I have a 150w 14k Hamilton Tech. over my Biocube and I like the color is puts out, are there any t5 combos that will give me the same look.

The tank is a 33long and i have zoo's and ricordia, and a few frags of SPS

I like these two combos. ATI blue plus, UVL super actinic, KZ Fiji purple, blue plus. You can switch the Fiji purple with a UVL aquasun. Fiji purple is very pink while the aquasun is less. If you wanna see pic of my tank pm me.
 
I run 12 bulbs over my 125 (6 per side) each side has the following list of bulbs

Ati blue plus x3
Ati especial x2
ge 6500k

I like it a ton.....will post a pic after the wife uploads a few.

Wish I had 8 bulbs on each side (total of 16 36" t-5's) but will have to settle for now till we move.
 
Well here is a quick pic from when the tank was 1st set up. Looks a lot different inside now then this pic but it lets you see the colour of the lighting. My photo skills need a bit of work

Would have taken a new pic but the lights have gone off for the night already and I am stuck at work for the next few hrs and the wife is busy with the little one.
