Basking light brands don't make much of a difference. I have used all types. The only reason you may want to get a Zoomed or other reptile one is if you prefer the color of light it gives off. Once in awhile I pay $5 for a Zoomed one because I like the bluish, pleasant light-- it is less harsh and seems daylight balanced. Does it do a better job of heating up my ig???? No. Recently I bought some nice Phillips lights from Home Depot (they were a little pricey for non-reptile bulbs) and 2 of them blew out almost immediately (arghh that made me mad). But anyway, you aren't going to hurt your ig either way...as long as you have a UV light in there as well.
