I have it narrowed down to a radion or the 8 bulb dimmable ATI unit.
Any suggestions or pros and cons?

I've got an 8 bulb non dimmable ATI and am very happy with it (and was happy with it over my 60g cube too!)
Personally, I think the radion might not give enough coverage on the extreme edges, but I'm of the belief that more is better when it comes to lighting. If I had a hood, I'd throw either my old Kessil 360's or a halide IN ADDITION to my 8 bulb ATI
All depends on livestock you want to keep though.
I'm a huge Apex fan, but the dimmable ATI unit isn't compatible with an apex. Just throwing that out there.

my radion wasn't enough coverage for a 60 gallon cube. I switched over to a 8 bulb ATI and it is great. I knew that one day I would bump up to a 93 gallon cube so I went with 8 bulbs instead of 4 or 6. You would realistically need 2 radions for a 93 if you plan on having SPS.

I'm in the midst of getting my 93 cube ready, collecting equipment currently. I was advised by many in my area that it would take 2-3 radions to cover the whole tank. General consensus seems to be 8 bulb ATI with or without dimming and leds. Personally I'm planning on a 8 bulb ATI and adding a couple of led strips to it.
