Still not sure on which lights to use

I am setting up a 58 gallon tank (36"x18"x21") and I think that I want to go with MH, but I am still not sure.

I am looking at Coralife Aqualight Pro w/ 1x150w 10000k MH and 2x65w actinics; or Current USA Outer Orbit HQI w/ 1x150w 10000k MH and 2x96w actinics; or a Current USA Sunpod HQI w/ 2x150w 14000k.

The room that my tank is in stays cool all year round and I really would rather not have to run a chiller. I plan to grow softies LPS and possibly clams.

I have also concidered a 5 or 6 bulb T5HO.

I would go with the 2x150's at 14K.
