Well first up, why are you upgrading? There are plenty of good reasons, but if it's growing well then I suspect that you're going for efficiency, rather than power, so the next question is what are you using at the moment?
 
Second question is what is your view on the lid? Are you looking for something to go inside or are you planning on removing the current hood to replace the lights with an open top?

I purchased these about a month agoand my plants seem to be doing fine, great penetration nd shimmer compared to the T5s i was using previous

Depends on how much you have to spend.

I'm using a 24" Current-USA satellite+ for my 20g tank and it's managed to grow everything in there, including some Green Cabomba..
It's good and cheap but I heard it only can grow up to "moderate" light plants.
I must add that I dim the fixture just a bit.
