I was running D&D (Geisman) but now I'm running ATI bulbs and I must say I love the colour. It is slightly more blue so if you like that it will be a good choice, if not then the D&D bulbs give off some great light.

With so many bulbs you should be able to play with some combinations. On the ATI side you could go for:
4 Blue Special (This is the standard bulb)
1 Blue Plus
1 Pro Colour
1 Actinic
1 Daylight

There may be better choices for the Daylight bulb, I'm currently not running a daylight myself so I cannot recommend one at the moment.

At the moment I'm running 3 Blue Special and 1 Actinic. I plan to add the Blue Plus as well as a Daylight.

Wish I had 8 bulbs to play with, I've only got 4, but soon to be 6!
