Consensus seems to be that the ZooMed Repti-Sun 5.0 is the better tube.
This is borne out by the tests that UK-based UVGuide did: http://www.uvguide.co.uk/
(take a read through their site - there is lots of interesting information about UV lighting there including bulb fixtures, reflectors, placement)
In my personal experience, I did seem to notice an increase in activity levels in my chams when I switched over to the ZooMed bulbs after originally using ExoTerra. But I can't say whether this really had anything to do with the brand, or whether the former bulbs were simply old and needed replacement. Either way, I've stuck with ZooMed ever since.
