Default mh or pc

i am building a new stand and canopy for my 125 gal. and was wondering i want to put up 2x mh and 4 pc.. the pc i have are 65 watts a piece. should i get 2 x 175 watt or 2 x 250 watt fixtures for the tank. i am doing a reef. do you guys and girls think the 250 watt are to much or just right. just want to get the most out of my tank and am in a toss up over how much light do i need. i want to get 5 to 7 watts per gal. will the 250 be to hot and should i go with 175 watts x 3? the only thing to replace 3 bulbs instead of 2 that is the deciding factor. well let me know what you guys think.
thanks
rob
