Rule of thumb I keep reading is that your vent system should be able to replace the air in your grow area in 5 minutes. I think thats more geared to supplying adequate fresh air. My grow situation I have a air cooled hood w/one 600W and if I ran fan at full speed my room would get too cool.

You'll need one that extracts more than the intake, despite the filter being attached to the extractor (which like ducting obstructs and limits the throughput). Active intake should be roughly 50% of extractor spec. Extractor should be roughly same as amount of watts optimally, though then I would add a passive intake, and can be much lower depending on climate, fans, cooltubes etc.

I use a 370 with thermostat, runs at 40% most of them time. That's for one 600 watt.

Make sure its the 6" L1 version otherwise the A1 @480m3/h won't be enough to cool the area as well.
