Tank dimensions might be a good start?
Aquascape? Lots of rocks or overhangs?

Those led light should be sufficient. Flow, nutrients, and stability are more important at this point IMO.
Some of the top coral dealers use just those lights.

Depends on the tank size. Adding t5 does eliminate any shadowing and helps a lot with the led disco effect. Perwonally I would add the T5 if you can.

Also depends on your aquascaping, as said T5 lessens shadows so if you aquascaping and coral placement causes lower areas to have excessive shadowing then I would get a T% addition.
