Default CFL better than fluorescent?

I recently lost my light hood due to an electrical short - a small fire
quickly put out. I had two T-8 fluorescents. Since I have this
opportunity to start from scratch, I'm considering going with compact
fluorescents instead of the old T-8s. Is there any advantage in CFL?
With the 96W lamp, I can definitely get more watts in the tank, but I
wasn't doing too badly before. Any other advantages to CFL? Certainly,
the T-8 bulbs are cheaper. Thanks,

B
