One 11 watt mini compact is equal to 50 watt incanenscent lighting
That doesn't mean anything to your tank. How many 11w bulbs and on what size of tank??
To answer your question, the color of bulb is really a matter of looks. The 10k 50/50 bulbs will be a white/blue... the 6500k bulb will be white/yellow. I would go with the 50/50.

Nothing to roll the eyes about... I think the 6500k lights are VERY yellow.
What are you tying to accomplish with these lights?? Are you trying them for corals??
Also, have you looked into the LOA 65w PC flood light?? If you like the looks of a 6500k bulb it may be a good option for you. It's about 40$ at home depot. I have one on my 20g refuge and it grows algae really well. IMO it would also do good for shrooms, zoos, etc.
