Either is fine for zoas. Some zoas will be happier toward the top of the tank, others happier toward the bottom. If you are changing your lighting, start them at the bottom and if they begin to stretch toward the light, move them higher a few inches at a time.

Can't answer that question without more info on the light itself.
What bulbs are in it now?

I Myself Like The T5's Better And Depending On The Light Setup It Gives You More Options Of Light, But Pc's Will Work
