I find a lot of uses for the 40-65 watt CFL bulbs with clamp on shoplight fixtures. (the ones with the metal shades)

The advantage there is that they can be easily moved and aimed, used without the shades and add a "Y" fitting to get two bulbs per fixture! For tubes I prefer the high output T5 fixtures. I run with Hydrofarm Designer Series 4 foots, but if you could find a shop light grade that used T5 tubes, that should work just as well.

Fixtures designed for grow rooms have some advantages in their hanging hardware, AC outlets for daisey chaining, and larger ones offer additional switches to turn only half of the tubes on.

A hydroponics store or shop that sells growing equipment like a nursery or garden center. Don't know if HD sells them or not. Probably not.

You can also check out GRENERS.COM online. Thats where I bought all of my Hydrofarm fixtures.
