Finally upgraded to T5s! Need a little help...

I ordered a 4 foot, 4 bulb, High Output T5 fixture. See it here: HTG Supply - GrowBright 4 Foot 4 Lamp High Output T5 With Choice of Bulbs It hasn't arrived yet but I have a few questions...

I have a few mottled leaf paphs and some noID phals. How close should I put them to the lights?

I will be going to an upcoming show. What other orchids could I get that will do well under these lights?

I would like to try mini cattleyas, phrags, brassias, and maybe bulbophyllums. Will any of these grow under T5s?

I want some reccomendations of orchids that would do well under these lights.

One more question: How would you set up lights for a Paphiopedilum sanderianum?
