For the fluorescent light definitely get the T5 or T8. I like the 8 foot fixtures that take 4-4 foot bulbs. I have been told they are going to quit making 8 foot lamps. Skylights also help and provide the best kind of light- free.
Some Metal Halide lights have 120V-480V multi tap transformers, I sell them in my store, they draw the same wattage regardless of which voltage you run them on.
