Drew, Where are you located? I am in SC also. I have a 16x18 and I put 6 of the 2bulb 4 ft t-8 lights in it and one more 2 bulb 4ft t-8s over the work bench hanging low. I love the light in there. Its bright but not blinding. I got them from lowes for like 12.00 each.

As for what bulb the T-8 is the way to go it is brighter, more efficient and longer lasting than T-12s. That light looks nice but I don't see any prices on that page. I would go for two 8ft long lights with four 4ft T-8 each. It would have the same amount of light but it would be more even with less shadowing. You can get the 8ft long lights with four 4ft T-8 for about $50-$55 each at Menard's, Lowe's or Home Depot.
Also any more info on what you are planing to do in that room would be helpful as work benches or assembly tables need the most light and storage needs much less.
