Projector Set-up decision

Hello,
I have a 2003 Nissan Maxima Retrofit: http://nissanhelp.com/models/2003/ma..._maxima_06.jpg (so you have an idea of my stock headlights) I haven't been able to finish due to missing parts and time. I have most of the parts but I've been debating on which set-up will be best.
Here are the options, Please help me decide.

1- RX 350 Afs BiXenon Projectors on MM 35 w hid set-up and on the high beam spot the Mini D2S 3.0 on MM 50 w hid set-up(Quad Projectors). , Why?
2- RX 350 Afs BiXenon Projectors on MM 50 w hid set-up with the combination of the Halogen high beam stock reflector? , Why?
3- If none of the above, What is your suggestions and Why?

Thank you.

I like halogen high beams. Better for when you actually need them.

Bixenon means it is a high and low.

I know this..... I have bi-xenon low beam projectors and additional halogen high beam projectors.

You're not driving around with your headlights on every time you drive so when you need to use your high beams in those cases, the headlights will just flick on for one second and will not warm up at all. Not very useful. Doing that is bad for the bulbs/ballasts as well.
