SE or DE?

Do you use SE or DE metal halides? and why?

U I use SE. I feel that you get more light output and a little better par value out of it, my personal opinion.

I run DE and I like running 14k phoenix on them, but I've seen some SE with Radiums and I like the color even better. I guess if I did this again I would go with SE, but rather go with LED instead

I've ran both and I prefer SE because of more bulb choices.
