Radiums might be pretty awesome if you ask me. Depends on what color you're looking fir but if it's blue than go with the radiums.

Some good websites are:
premiumaquatics.com, reefgeek.com, customaquatics.com, and marinedepot.com all have good lighting selections for metal halide.

Also check with your LFS, I'm sure they'd be willing to give you a good deal if you're a frequent customer.

It depends on where you live. The midwest? Then Premium Aquatics, no doubt. UPS Ground is one day most of the time. Marine Depot's a great store too but Ground from CA can take a week for me.
