A few questions about reflectors

How's it goin guys, I just had a quick question about Reflectors. I was wondering what the pro's and con's of each one of these are. (I know there are a few others - but these are more or less the ones I'm interested in for my set up.)

Please note these aren't pictures of the actual reflectors Im lookin at, but they are for reference of the ones I'm asking about.







I'm gonna be runnin a 6" cage fan as well attached to the reflector and housing a 1000w HPS bulb. Would I need to get a reflector with 8" opening for the exhaust? or do you think a 6" would be alright?

Thanks in advance.

How big is your area? The magnum6" xxxl is the shit if ur at least 4x4 or can run ducting directly rhrough the wall with the lixed in a fixed position in a smaller space (its more similare to the last one. Xan off many pros or cons, I like that its gasketed so it doesn't play with my c02 levels and its completely covered in the pebble reflector material, I tried a cooltube and soon traded up the footprin wasn't ideal for my space

As far as what to recommend for YOU, depends on your room. For ME, I use the ducted hoods with tempered glass because i can cool them and keep the plants out of the bulb.
