Sorry, that's really a tough one. It's a matter of personal preference. I'm not well versed on all of the T5 combinations so I really can't help you out.

I'd go with 4-5 aqua suns and 3-4 super actinides(I'd swap these out for ATI blue plus)
Everyone has there own taste when it comes to lighting so it's hard to say what you'd like.Check out Jersey Wendy's tank thread for more info on what she uses.She has a really nice tank and she uses t-5s.
