I'd definately go with the hps over the fluros anytime. Fluros work great for veggin, but come time for flowering, nothin beats an hps. Keep in mind, that a 400 watter will only effectively light a 3x3area. Also, look into an air cooled hood, they're like $38 extra from htg, and of corse u gotta get the fan and run ducting, but it will save u headaches from the temps in the long run.

for ur lighting situation it depends- How big's the tent u plan to use andhow many plants? If it's more than 3x3 and it's more like 4x4 then ya u'll want the 600w setup. The hps's are expensive, I thoght they were rediculous when I started, but believe me, they more than pay for themselves in nugs with every harvest. The fluro setup would work if ur really strapped for cash, but it won't be able to produce the nuggage that the hps would.
