May or may not keep plants. Dont want to buy a light now that may end up limiting me later. Looking at picking this one up.

Hagen Glo T5 HO Lighting System - Double - 36 - Lighting & Hoods - Fish - PetSmart

Has anyone used these lights before? If so how are they? And do they come with bulbs already?

If you are looking for a T5 HO, try these guys instead. I have one of their light strips and it is working well for me. The price difference gets my attention and they do come with lamps.

With that fixture what is the best bulb set up?

The bulb choice depends on the ultimate use but bulbs are cheap. I would go with the lower K rating for any tank that does not have plants in it and even a planted tank would work nicely with 6700K bulbs.
