I have used the tek light and they are amazing. No fans so they are silent and you get a ton of light using them. I would highly recommend spending the extra money to get one and do it right the first time.
T5 or CFL

I prefer power compact fluorescent over t5 ho!
That is for planted tanks of course. I have much better growth with my plants.
My electric bill is lower too!!

Individual reflectors allow each bulb to deliver its maximum potential, the cheaper fixtures have one large flat reflector to save money and at the same time they waste some of the lamps' output too.
Electric bill will be the same...watts are watts. Power Compacts are actually less efficient(more restrike) that t5 with individual reflectors, so technically, for the same amount of usable light, t5 is cheaper.
