I've used the Hydra 52 (non HD) on the 30x30 cube and it left some shaded spots around the edges but should be enough for a 24x24. I have found with LED fixtures, especially a single fixture will leave dead spots on the underside of Coral colonies as the light doesn't get down there. The customization is nice also.
T5 I have also used and found a lot easier and effective and you really can't go wrong with an ATI fixture. 8 bulbs will give you tonnes of light and a good amount of bulb choices as to get a spectrum that you like.
I would go T5 if I had to pick one or the other. Your corals will thank you too. You could also go non-dimmable and use timers to control the lights.
People are also very fond of a combo, but seeing as you asked one or the other I'll leave that for now.
