HPS vs CFL??

Right im setting up a small grow and have been searching threads trying to find out which lights i should use but all the threads just seem to turn into a big arguement about CFL's and HPS's.

It is a relatively small setup i am gowing for, i am gonna grow the seedlings under some CFL's, and then i think i will veg under CFL's aswell as it only small space for vegging (about 20"(L) x 25"(H) x 16"(w)) But then i am going for a large flowring room about 5'(H) x 3'(L) x 2'(W), now i am not sure what lighting to use for this room. I have heard HPS give fatter and tighter buds than CFL's will, but will i need a ventillation or cooling system? And ive heard a CFL system is cheaper to set up. I am not bothered about the electric bill just the cost of the setup. Any advise??
