I believe this is pretty much how it works:
T8 (or NO (Normal Output)) are a certain diameter and the least bright of all tubes.
HO (High Output) is slightly better.
PC (Power Compacts) are the ones that are usually "bent" in half, doubled over, they can be in a straight 4-pin formation or a square 4-pin.
VHO (Very High Output) is very bright.
T5 is the latest. I think it has a thicker diameter than the rest, is supposed to be as bright as metal Halides, but they run hot for fluourescent tube...

Don't take my word for it though, wait for a second opinion.
