Which LED to buy?

I am very confused... I have a 150 gal. 3 250 metal halides and 4 mhos currently. I want to convert to LEDs. I do have a canopy currently. I am open into not using the canopy if I have too. I do not have any stony corals but I do have maximas, brain corals, etc. Please Help!

Since you have a canopy, would you be open to DIY? This will give you the most customization and will be significantly cheaper(though won't look as nice fixture wise).

I rather get something that is ready. I am not very handy.

All of these should be ok for your tank, and similar to what you currently have
