Lighting for 75g

So I'm finally looking for a new light for my tank. I've been looking at a few in particular. I will eventually run a few coral (softies) nothing needing super high light. Here's what I'm considering. We really want to hang the light from the ceiling, and will run separate moonlights if we need to. What would you recommend?

1. Wavepoint 36in T5 4-bulb: I really like this option, but it has only one ballast so no separate light control.

2. Coralife 36in T5 4-bulb: Have heard mixed reviews on this one, and am I correct that the reflector is one piece?

3. Current USA Nova Extreme 36in 4-bulb: Seems like a great choice, but will have to modify to hang.

4. Finnex LED/T5 combo 36in 4-bulb: looks like a good fixture, but haven't seen must stuff on it.

5. Fishneedit 36in T5 4-bulb: have heard good things with this one, but am unsure, and experience?

They all look good. You might think about getting a light fixture that is the same as a friend or your LFS. It helps when setting your equipment up to have someone to talk to about it. Or even someone from this forum. There are so many different equipment options I found it very beneficial to have someone close to ask questions.

You might look at leds. In the long run they are much more efficient and you don't have to change out bulbs which will save you some money also.

I'd like to run AIs but they are quite pricey, and the LFS all run LED or ATI or TEK.
