do you believe that it is better than

personally. I dont think it matters.
I use the reptiglo coil, and have no issues.
tubes make for better coverage across a big cage.
I think the glo and sun are equal. but some will disagree.
some will say the coils are bad, but that was many years ago, and there have been no reported problems since.

would http://www.petmountain.com/product/...442-504985/zoo-med-reptisun-5.0-uvb-bulb.html be fine even when he gets older?

Yup.
I replace my uvb bulbs around 9 months old.
