It depends on the LEDs and what look you're aiming for. I think most people would agree that ATI is the most common bulb brand used, and you're probably going to be recommended Blue+, Coral+, or Purple+ to be used for supplemental lighting.

Blue+ and Purple+ ATI bulbs.

I'm using ATI blue+ and coral+ with 2 Kessil A160WE on a 75g. The t5's turn on when the Kessils reach peak and stay on for 5 hrs and turn off when the Kessils start ramping down.
