Can someone help me choose a "Eco-Tech only" LED Light system for my odd shaped Fish only tank?

So you want Ecotech Radions?
For a FOWLR tank, you could get away with probably 3 of the Radions with a wide angle lens kit. That will give you full light coverage, and you don't have to worry about par ratings since you have no corals.

There are some gen 2 Radion Pros with wide angle kits for sale in the classified section now, a couple different sellers.

Are you talking about 3 radions costing about $700 ea?

Brand new gen 3 Radions are $650 each, wide angle lens kits are $35 each.

There are a few sellers in the classified section selling them between $350-$500 each, gen 2 or gen 1.

You said you wanted Ecotech, they aren't cheap...........LOL

Yes, I prefer them simply because of their excellent customer service...
But you think I would need 3 for a FOWLR?

Depending on how high you are going to mount them, 2 with the wide angle lens would probably do it.
