I use Mercury vapor bulbs on some of my larger dragon enclosures and I really like them. They only have to be changed once a year, the UVB is supposed to carry further than their fluorescent counter parts, and I only have to mess with one light/heat source. (Less cord mess and cuts down on over use of serge protectors a bit.)
The bulbs can be damaged easily though, so I would recommend a light stand for the ceramic hood so you aren't moving the bulb every time you want to take your beardie out. Also let the lamps have cool off before you move them or you may damage the filament.
I hope this helps a bit!
