I will say first off that you would be making a great investment going with the digital ballast.. I've had 10-15 different digital ones.. There are only 3 types I would recommend.. Not gonna say here which one I found to be the best! Simply because there will be conflicts of interests As far as the lamps go... I spent hundreds on finding the type that would work with the one I use now.. 4 years and no problems with lamp or ballast! I will say that any one you choose should not have a fan or an open end on it. That should narrow it down to the 3 I would recommend.

Depends on which type lamp you purchase... I use only SunMaster and Hortilux 1000 watt. The SunMaster is the best of the 2.. The Hortilux is a back up lamp... Go figure...
