DE or SE? And you might have to take into account how the ballast and the fixture are connect -- are they using "special" connections?

Oops, sorry. See below for that. So, as long as you match the wattage and the type of bulb you can use almost any other bulb. (( there are a few exceptions, but I personally haven't encountered any ))

DE -- Double Ended
The bulbs look like this

SE -- Single Ended ( Screw type )
