Compact bulbs aren't that great, so I'd stay away from them whenever possible.

I'm a big fan of the 8.0 and the 10.0 tubes. I know the 10.0 can seem like overkill, but when you consider that so much of the UV can be filtered out by screen/mesh, and it's only of fraction of natural sunlight, it's not too much.

Still, natural sunlight whenever possible is the very best, and don't forget to change those long bulbs every 6 months.
