When you get a halide bulb, Optilume makes a good balanced spectrum grow bulb. Hortilux does too, but they are pricier.

I know digital ballasts perform better on paper, but I have had durability issues with them, especially in a greenhouse environment that can be harsh on sensitive electronics. I don't think they are as tough as the old style heavy magnetic ballasts.
