Default replacement lighting

Over my 47g bowfront, I had 2x 96W PCs, and 2x 65W PCs.
Both of the ballasts on the 96W have blown.

It's been a while since I researched lighting.

What't the way to go now?
HOT5
Metal Halides?
LEDs
or stay with PCs?


In total I've got a space of 36" long and 24" wide.

LEDs are the only way to go IMHO, two radions over your tank and I think you'd be good to go for a very long time...
