T8 in T5?

That's correct. The T8 and T5 refer to the size of the bulb so they each require the corresponding fixture size. T5 is newer, thinner, and more powerful than T8 (which is newer than T12 which you don't see much of anymore).
The 5.0 vs 10.0 (and 6% vs 12%) refer to the output of the bulbs themselves. In most cases you want the higher output 10.0 (or 12%) for a desert critter like a dragon. The 5.0/6% bulbs are for shade/tropical animals.
