Whats your personal preference(lighting)???

The fan noise isnt really a bother, but I've only had them around a month. Replacing the fans shouldnt be that hard, but if they do fail, I dont mind replacing them with something quieter.
 
CFs and Shoplights. I only have 1 actual light fixture designed for aquariums, and that is in my low light shrimp only tank.
