Mostly depends on your budget.

Ive heard natural sunlight is the best you should just put the tank next to the window. Best thing it'll be free!

Thanks for all the great suggestions , I have much to consider,and may need to save a little more,but I have a direction thanks

It depends on what you are using them for. In a fish only tank, lights that make the tank and fish look nice are good enough and will also work with non photosynthetic corals. However, photosynthetic corals require bright lights with the right spectrum. I have seen advocates of metal halides, T5 and led. Personally, I like the efficiency and low heat of LED lights.

Me to, just wanted to know a good full spectrum programmable lighting system for reef, of course I be forgetting I have fish sometimes,lol
