I have some growth charts posted on my site. Reiko was kind enough to gather the info and send it to me along with photos of her dragons. Just click on the link below then click on Growth Charts.
I love the mercury vapor UVB and heat bulbs. I am going to start testing the UVB output of one this week. You can also get results of that test on my website - just click on Project UVB.

As long as your beardie is getting the proper heat and uv light either one will do. I'm tending to lean towards replacing my heat light and uv light with a mercury light just for the fact I would reduce the sockets and outlets I'm using.
As for the red light, I think you only need that if the temps drop too low at night.
