Brett-
Making "good" reflectors is not easy. Take a look at this link for the ballasts.

Another route would be to go VHO and you would not need reflectors if you bought URI bulbs.

Reflectors are a one time expense that can maximize your light output. I would get the best available parabolic to minimize restrike if available. However, I don't really know what is available for PC style bulbs.
