It's a preferance thing I guess. So you like the shimmer of MH bulbs? You won't get that with T5s. But T5s have many advantages. They are cheaper per bulb, they run cooler, and they use much less electricty. I'd go with the Tek Light.

The Tek Light is (IMO) far superior to any fixture that Coralife makes/made. A 6x54w Tek Elite would allow you to house anything you'd like in a 90G!
