Which Light?

Hey Guys,
I am deciding between using a 70watt Viper Metal Halide over my 20 long, or the 4-bulb 96watt T-5 HO? What do you think would look better? All opinions appreciated. I don't plan on doing SPS, just LPS and softies for the most part.

Thanks

4 bulb t5 as long as it has individual reflectors. Did you have any particular fixtures in mind?
