Which fluorescent tube is better?

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to decide, Zoo Med ReptiSun or Exo Terra ReptiGlo?
I had Zoo med before and worked perfectly, but in the store they sell the Exo Terra. There is 3% difference in the UVA between the two brands. Does it matter?

Thank you!

Reptisun all they way! The reptiglo isn't nearly as bright and has a blue coloring to it that's irritating.

Thanks so much! I don't like to switch if something works!

If you want the best quality, and don't mind spending a little extra money, the Arcadia 6 and 12% HO tube T5's with fixture is my choice.

I replaced all my Reptisun bulbs, with their cheap plastic fixtures with these and wont use anything else, unless I discover something better.

Thank you! I'm pretty sure I will buy it in the future. I've heard only good things about that!

It's not a question to ask. Reptisun.

both are useable. ReptiSun is generally preferred.

I'm with psycho bunny, arcadia has some of the best lights and fixtures on the market. I put one on my bearded dragon tank and within a few days his color was super bright yellow and browns, he's responded really well to the d3+ t5 setup. I'm going to be using the new 4 bulb vivaririum setup for my veiled when I get home and build his new acrylic tank.
