Light for 25" deep tank

I got a deal on a 24x18x25 tank so how is the best way to light it for a mixed reef? I was thinking maybe 4 24" t5ho would work, but would that give me enough variation in lighting levels for shrooms, zoas, and low light lps on the bottom and also sps on the top? Or would I be better off going 150 mh with 2 t5ho for supplementation and even lighting for viewing of the tank without shadows? My goal is for having a mostly lps/sps tank with enough varying light levels to keep high and lowlight species in the same tank. My aquascape is mostly pillars to use the whole depth of the tank for corals.
