I went with 35W, both on heads and fogs. Couldn't be happier.

I purchased mine from DDM. The wiring harness isn't designed specifically for the 'Stang, so cable management was a PITA, but it's workable. Got everything (2 hi/lo bulbs, 2 reg. bulbs, 4 ballasts, wiring harness) for <$70 shipped from them a couple months ago on sale. Looks like right now it'd be around $100 shipped from them, which still seams like a deal compared to other places. They also come with a lifetime warranty. I keep meaning to take pics and make a write up, but I haven't really had much time lately.

what exactly do you mean the wiring harness is not designed for the mustang? What exactly caused the problem? My old set died and now i'm looking for a replacement I previously had 8000k, but now I think ill go with 6000k. Even though my fogs will still be 8.

The length of wire from the harness relay box to the opposite side (driver) was a bit tight, but other than that it was fine. There was a lot of slack in other places, so there's a huge bundle of cable I put behind the passenger headlight. I'm still trying to figure out if there's anything I can do with it. Also, the ballasts didn't have any mount holes, so it was quite a feat mounting them. The provided double sided tape didn't survive the heat of the engine bay so I had to use zip ties galore until I can come up with a better method of mounting. I'm sure, if you already have a wiring harness installed you can just reuse that if it has the standard two pin headlamp plugs (same style as the foglamp bulbs).
