For reference, my ceilings are about 10' to 11' and the fixtures are spaced about 6' apart. When I put them in, the T12HO were about the best option out there - both for light output as well as not being affected by colder temperatures.
Granted, they were 20+ years old when I replaced them, but the LED were quite a bit brighter. Not uncomfortably so, though. They are also instant on where the fluorescent bulbs took a couple moments to "warm up" and get bright.
