best electronic halide ballast

What is the best 250 watt electronic halide ballast? I am not sure if the EVC are available in that wattage, what would be the next best thing? Thanks!

I have a Galaxy ballast from sunlight supply, has a 3 year warranty, the icecaps are good but for the money it should come with the heatsink.

The new Ice Cap eBallasts come with a heatsink. I just got three. They are also prewired. Very Cool LOL.

The Galaxy has a propriety connector - SLS, so you have to buy a cable/connector in addition to the ballast.

IceCap and Galaxy would be my first choice.
