Anything from a $100 Mars Aqua black box to a $800 Eco Tech Radion will work just fine.
They all provide light that will grow healthy coral. Spending more money doesn't get you light that works any better for your coral. It just spends your money.
Now the more expensive fixtures do have options like sunrise/sunset, or 6+ channels of color control. But those features do next to nothing for the growth or health of your coral. They are just toys that you as a human get to play with.
If toys aren't your thing, get an inexpensive black box fixture. If you want toys, IMHO, the best value is the Reef Breeders Photon V2+ (I like toys but hate spending too much money, so this is what I use). If you really want to spend more money, there are companies out there that are more than willing to take it.
