Thinking between ai prime or ai hydra 32hd for my second 57gal rimless tank picture below. 36” wide would 2 prime 16 be enough for sps corals? if it would take 3 I was thinking 2-hydra 32hd light. Not looking to go cheap just make money stretch and still have good equipment.

Theyre great lights. Run them on two tanks. Prime and hydra 26
 
I have hydras and primes. For a 36 inch tank 2 hydras will do it. I use 2 primes on a IM10 which is only 12 inches long so they will not work for sos in your tank. Hydras are great lights!
 
I have never been a big fan of the kessil but they are the most popular brand.
 
you may want to just peek at the Reefi lights.
Though considerably more expensive than your initial choices but
currently can get $100 off the extreme. Still ..$650

PAR chart sort of matching your tank

Slightly cheaper than 2 Radion XR15's..

Or this:


Keep in mind all the above are in like a 200W "class" of lights..2x the light output of your other choices..
 
I have the same tank. I originally went with two Primes but upgraded to Hydra 26’s after a few months. I’m able to keep SPS with no issue.
