I have Phoenix...14k's very nice... I tried 10's and it was to yellow. the 14's have a nice hint of blue... and from what I have read.. the phoenix are good.. I cant' speak for the others but xm's have a good rating as well.
 
just my $.02 worth

Had very little coral growth with a Aqualine 20000 but color was great - for me the Aqualine 10000 yes is yellow but now growth is of what I consider moderate. I tried Ushio and XM's but the same results happened. I wish I could add atinics but have no room with aquaspace pendant and it being a corner tank. I had to chose one over the other - growth or looks and could not reach both with my 150 maybe you can?
 
I have a phoenix 14k and love it, i get decent growth and the color is amazing, I also run atinics with it. I was thinking about making a thread like this shortly because I need to think about a replacement bulb, so I would also like to see what people think of different bulbs.

I run a couple of 14K Phoenix in my display with two 110W vho atinics, tank color is nice, I'm not sure about the growth yet. I have two 10K's in my frag tank, frag color and growth both are pretty good, but yellow even with T-5 atinics.

The Iwasaki 15k's are getting rave reviews on RC
I believe they are only made for 175 watt mh's, or maybe they are coming out with a 150 watt mh's that I dont know about yet.

I just order pair of 14k Phoenix from HelloLights already
Thanks
You willl not be dissapointed they have great color, and I think the growth and color of my corals has improved since changing to it. I used to have a coralife 10k and it was yellow even with my atinics and the growth and coor was not that good for the short time I had it.
