I've paid as much as $20 US for 24" tubes of impecable manufacture (german tubes). My thoughts is that you get what you pay for. The cheap ones I started with were much less light than the HO tubes I've been using of late. You want light? You gotta pay for it (My 2 cents).

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
