what to do?

At the end of the day, your decision will probably be based on how much you want to spend on lighting. FO or FOWLR tanks will not require as much light as some reefs. You could get away with NO or PC lighting with FO or FOWLR tanks.

There are also several ways to set up reef tanks, depending again on how much you want to spend on lighting, or how much light you want on your desk. You can have a softie tank with PCs, lps corals with VHO lighting, or you could go whole hog and get MHs for sps corals.
