What mix of Giesemann T5 bulbs should I buy?

It is time for me to replace bulbs on my 4' 54watt Aquatic Life fixture. Wishing I could go LED but the prices are still too high so 1 more year of T5 here. Timer setup:
2 of the 4 coming on from 1pm to 5pm
all 4 on from 5pm to 8:30pm
2 of the 4 from 8:30pm to 930pm
LED blues from 9:30pm to 11pm

So I run 2 bulbs a long time, which 4 bulbs do you all think I should buy? I don't want to change my timers.
Thanks, Bill
