next step is LIGHTING !

Soooo...... i got most of my equipment on the way and now lighting is the next step. I would like to keep most corals, but mainly lps, sps, clams, etc. i'm gonna go with a MH combo fixture. I'm no electrician and can't do a diy fixture. Powerwise 3x250watts is what im looking at. The tank is 125G (72x18x24) so i know it's gonna cost me atleast $1000. Should i go with the reef illuminations , hamilton technology Belize sun, aquamedic, maristar, or marineland pro? Whats your experiences on any of these, how long have you had it?
