Default KC Hilites vs ARB IPF

Hello,
Looking at three different light systems. These are the three KC Hilites 69 series lights, ARB IPF 800XS, and ARB IPF 868CS. Which do you have/which do you prefer? I will be running 2 spot ones in the centre facing forward, 2 spread ones facing front on each end, and then 2 spread ones facing backwards. (all on a backrack)

Here are some links:

Thank-you everyone.

I personally wouldnt waste my money on any of those at all. Save a little more and go the LED route.

the 800xs is only 55W... so either of the other 2 would be better 100W.. I don't know about LED's from a back rack..

I was just told by ARB USA that the 800xs is a 65W h9 bulb and is submersible and more efficient than the 868 which can be either a 55W or 100W bulb that is only an H3. So they told me that the 800xs is way better even though it is lower wattage and since it includes a better wiring harness, it can be as bright or brighter. I don't want to go HID or LED because I won't be using them for extended periods of time during the week. So now it's down to the KC Hilites 69 series or the ARB IPF 800xs, which ones should I get?
Thanks everyone.
