power compact bulb recomendations

Well its time for new bulbs in my coralife fixture. The fixture came with phoenix bulbs for the halides and coralife dual actinic bulbs for the power compacts. I would like to stick with the phoenix bulbs for the halides but i dont know much about power compacts any recommendations as to what would be the best for color. any help is much appreciated.

Go with Current/Sunpaq bulbs to replace the Coralife. Easy to find and waaaaay better than the Coralife. Agree with the 420/460 recommendation.
