Default Lights for a planted tank

I have seen a couple of different T8 fixtures at the BORG (Big
Orange Retail Giant).

Greg,

T8's put out more light per watt, use less energy and last longer. May I ask
where you found the T8 fixtures? If I redo my 55g, I'd switch to the T8's
based on the research I've done. Side by side I'd expect a 32 watt T8 to be
brighter than a 40 watt T12.
