T5's unless you go with a proven LED fixture. Well, proven up to now.

Do you consider Kessil's as 'proven?'

I would go with the T5's w/ LEDs. I have had both, currently have LEDs. I personally like LEDs on smaller tanks. Bright enough you can keep a lot of SPS, and they give off good colors....Good Luck
