To be honest, "I" have never tried/used anything other than standard warm and cool flourescent tubes and cfl's. I found that aquarium lights, plant lights and pet(reptile) lights, to be both more expensive AND less less desirable for spectrum than the common old everyday shop bulbs.

I've never used anything like it but would probably lean towards CFLs and the likes, fine for veg but you'll probably want more for flower. Usually T10 is referring to the way the bulb plugs into the socket. T10 is a common term for one type of the two prong type flouro. sockets.
How hot it gets is going to be a concern also. The farther away from the actual plant you get with it, the more the lumens drop, more so with some types of lights than others.

They are more expensive... unstead of $1-$3 per 4 foot bulb you are talkin $8 per bulb. They have a wider spectrum.. but put out half the lumens. They still veg plants well imho tho.
