Need help picking new MH bulbs

Right now on my 150g reef I have 3 250W 20k radium bulbs. It is time to change them out and want some ideas. I do like the blue color so I am thinking I want to stay in the 20K rang but open for ideas. When I got the radiums I was planing on going all out and doing a lot of SPS. As of right now I have a lot of softies and LPS and I think I am going to stick with them. What are some of the brands of blubs you have used and like the most? Thanks
Charles

It doesn't get much better than radiums. Don't know why you would take a MH step backward. Fwiw I always liked Reeflux 12k.
