160g Lighting Options

I've ordered a 160g tank for mixed reef . It has framing that essentially divides it into three sections. 24"x24" in the center flanked by 18"W x 24"D. 26" tall. See diagram.

So I'm considering several types of lighting approached:

Three devices, one for each section. Like three Kessil A360's or three Hydra 52 HD's.

Another option is to consider hybrid lighting. Like T5 and LED.
One option is an all in one unit like the ATI. Another thought would be a T5 in the middle section, with LED on the outside.

Looking for feedback on these ideas.

I plan to do 3 Kessil A360's down the middle and a row of T5's on the front and back since I have a canopy
