I'm leaning towards the Phantom II ballast. Adjustable wattage, rf shielding. Seems like a good ballast for the money. They have DE ballast also but I'm not familiar with them. I don't have the overhead space needed for DE's
 
I haven't tried digital yet but pretty sure it's my next upgrade. I have concerns of matching a bulb to the ballast as I heard some bulbs crappie out in digital ballast

I've been running Nextgen ballast for better than 5 years with no problem using hortilux eye bulbs. I understand their may be issues with the Hortilux eye blue hps bulbs tho.
