Hi Christine, I'm no expert on studio lighting, prefering to work with natural light, but I have to order the lighting for my employers studio. The general consensus here in the Uk is to use Bowens, I've bought Bowens Gemini 250R kits, they're pretty good value, quite comprehensive and reasonably robust. The bulbs have a limited life and are expensive to replace, spares are also expensive:
