What are the performance/quality differences between HQI, Mogul and SE Halides?

On my next upgrade, Im going to run Halides......but with all this HQI Mogul Single Ended Super Unleaded Turbo High Intensity jargon, its hard to choose. Whats the difference, performance-wise and quality-wise, between the three (HQI, Mogul, and Single Ended)?

AS far as I know mogul and Single ended are the same thing. I personally prefer HQI DE as they are newer technology and offer slightly higher output.

I'm running HQI's and like them. I hope to see more bulb choices in the future.

To confuse you even more I run HQI ballast on my SE 400W bulbs, 20k Radiums, incredible color!
