2. When I'm just messing in the garage I'd use the fluorescents to save energy.
3. In the winter, until I get heat, I'd use the incandescents since the fluorescents usually take a while to warm up to full light output.

Any thoughts?
That's exactly what I have. Two 200 watt incandescents, then a total of four fluorescent tubes. The fluorescents are great for determining gloss level, and the incandescents are great for finding swirls and marring.
