Best T5 reflectors on the market today?

Planning on making the jump to T5's again.
Can anyone suggest good reflectors that they have experience with?

TIA

Icecaps are better, they clean easier and don't stain permanently, has a more concentrated reflection (better if you want to use all T5 lamp), and also you can fit more because they are not as wide.

The only problem for a few is that they don't come in 60'' like the SLS TEK2.
