Question for the light " GURU's "

I'm currently have a Current 250MH DE with electronic ballast with 4 T5s. I need to replace the bulb soon and would like to inquire on what people thought of the following bulbs and to know whether they are worth it.

250 Watt 13000K Metal Halide Bulb - Aqualine AB, Double Ended $109.00
250 Watt 14500K Metal Halide Bulb - Megachrome Coral, Double Ended $109
250 Watt 20000K Metal Halide Bulb - Aqualine AB, Double Ended $119.99

I've also heard of Ushio's, Iwasaki's, Reflux and Hamiltons.

I want to try something better than my 14K phoenix's, if I didn't list a better bulb please let me know. I like a little blue but not tooo much blue that all I'm seeing is attinic.

thanks in advance
