T5 Bulb Replacement Time

So it's time to replace my T5 bulbs, and while I've been happy with what I have, I was curious if anyone had any other recommendations. We've got an Aquactinics T5 5x54w fixture, and while our current coral count is low, I do want to be able to house all sorts of corals again (I have a few LPS and soft corals right now).

Here is what we currently have:
2 x 54W Blue Plus T5 HO Fluorescent-ATI
1 x 54W 12000K Aquablue Special T5 HO Fluorescent- ATI
1 x 48" (HO,T5) Aquasun 10,000K 54W - UV Lighting
1 x 48" (HO, T5) 75.25 14,000K, 54W- UV Lighting

The color is nice, but figured it couldn't hurt to get someone elses opinion before I make this purchase. We've been running this exact same configuration for the past 3 years.
