The T5 HO lamps would be the better choice for florescent. You can get the troffer fixtures fairly reasonable. The chrome reflectors are a plus, direct the light down, keep the lamps clean. They come in 3 through 6 lamp configurations if I remember correctly. They make a lot of light, don't flicker when cold, long lamp life.
