150 watt 10K HQI bulb recommendations please

As the title says Im replacing the bulbs in my coralife fixture. Currently i have the stock coralife bulbs and Iwant to get more output.

Which bulbs (150 watt, 10K HQI) have the most par. white are the whitest? (dont need blue, i just dont want any yellow)

I was thinking either XM or Ushio

Probably the Aqualine Buschke 10000K ... actually called the Aqualine 10000. You may find the XM to have a little yellow tint. The Ushio more of a yellow tint. The AB bulb is actually a 13000K bulb, about 11000K with the glass shield and it is white. It has just very slightly less par than the XM and about the same as the Ushio.
