My question is that which would be best for my 150 XH 48"Lx24"Wx30"H

I was thinking 2x Photon16 with 60 degrees optics. What LED layouts would I need?

Also if I wanted to save a little bit of money will the Value Fixtures produce the same amount of light to grow corals as the Photon16 with 60 degrees optics?

You may want to pose this question in the lighting and equipment, or even the DIY or large tanks forum; people in the 'new to the hobby' area, even those who hang out here more to help than ask questions, might not be able to answer something so specific.

I'm not familiar with the specific lights you listed, but FWIW I'm running a 48" fixture with 45x 3W Cree LEDs (three rows of 15) on my 150XH and have no trouble growing anything -- if anything I have issues with bleaching/shrinking when I first introduced corals, and some zoas and mushrooms melt away even at the bottom. I had some SPS frags before our tank disaster last month (burst seal) and they were doing very well under these lights.
