input on t-5 bulb selection

I need some experienced insight.
I have a retro t-5 set up with 6 x 80w (60" t-5's)
It is about time to replace the bulbs.
I presently have 3 daytime (I should know but without looking I couldn't tell you specifics about the bulbs)
and I have 3 actinic (again don't know specifics)
I got my lights from reefgeek.com and have called and asked what they recommended in the past (it's worked out fine). I would like some input from here.
Any suggestions on type of bulbs ( and combinations, i.e. 1 of this, 2 of that...etc.)?
As always thanks!

3x 10K, 1x 460, 1x 490, and... 1x UV? or an aquablue+ depending on how blue/white you like it
I have never actually ran the above setup, but I see it recomended alot. I prefer more of a match of 10k and aquablue+, more like 20k look.
