Staying on the T5 bandwagon will continue to get increasingly costly & tube selection more difficult to source. If you have deep pockets & don't mind adding spent tubes containing traces of mercury to the landfill every 6 months or so, carry on.
Do you have light hungry coral on the bottom of your deep tank? Yes, I reckon you're overthinking that aspect....

LEDs on the other hand are tough to justify the upfront cost and can be a tough pill to swallow but you get what you pay for too. At the same time I am more and more drawn to them but worry that I will burn my coral high up to get light to my coral down low and because my knowledge of LED is limited I am left with a spinning head Decisions decisions

Price drop on LEDs has been substantial in recent years. Plenty of options with optics to customise light patterns, spotlight a given area, controllabillity etc. I don't see a downside but you do need to know your coral.
