I went ahead and ordered lighting today. Went with 6 t5's for the 75 and 4 t'5s for the 60. And then I realized I wasnt sure what color ati bulbs to go with. What bulbs have you used for 6 and 4 bulb setups and what was the overall look? I was going to post this in the lighting forum but Im more asking from an aesthetics perspective than PAR.

It depends if you like more white or more blue.
4-bulbs = 2-blue plus - 1 actinic - 1 coral plus is a good combo. Not blue to my eyes, but not extremely white.
 
When I had T5s, I often used blue plus and coral plus. Here is a video that you may find helpful (especially at 2:25+):
