Whats brighter? Phillips 6000 or Osram 5300 with 50w ballasts? Now I am not talking about which is a
prettier shade of blue, I am interested in more light on the road.

All the information you need is here...
...first off, interesting you mention it as the Osram 5,300K because it's listed as the Osram 5,400K even though it's actually 5,300K...marketing? :-)
Anyway:
@35 wattss
Philips Ultinon 6,000K: ~2,200 lumens
Osram Xenarch 5,400K: ~2,600 lumens
@50watts the Osram Xenarc 5,400K is noticeably brighter but the Ultinon does emit a nicer, "cooler" color.

I really like my 5,400 bulbs...but Dan prefers a higher contrast/higher temperature bulb.

Please re-read above...max light = brightest, so Philips 4,100K. If money is no object...
...this is the brightest:
-SPP Stage 3 HID Kit with 50 watt ballast
-Philips 4,100K D2S HID Bulbs
-Porsche Bi-Xenon projectors
-E-Code housings
-Send Audimods/Agravic everything and have him custom install the Porsche Bi-Xenon projectors into your E-Codes. Very expensive!
You will then have the brightest lights in the land. A slightly less expensive alternative would be to go with the Honda S2000 projectors retrofitted into the E-Codes.
