Of all magnetic HID ballasts, simple series reactor type offers the worst regulation (ability to compensate for line voltage fluctuation), but the highest efficiency.

Dedicated voltage series reactor is the cheapest, and offers the best efficiency, although with as many fixtures you're installing, you shoud specify optional parallel capacitor to raise power factor, so that you can maximize the capacity of your circuit.
Multi-tap is great for maintenance stock so its not necessary to stock different ballasts for each voltage used at facility, but for a new install on same voltage, you can probably get a better pricing on dedicated voltage ballast.
