Which in your opinion would be best for yield ?

Also if you can recommend a good strain to do 12/12 from seed or a good yielding auto

Yield will vary greatly depending on strain and conditions. I prefer the variety you can get by the 12/12 idea. Autoflowers are so limited in flavor and you have to tolerate 'rude' genes.

12/12 from seed i would think would give better results plus lots more strains to choose from. Plenty of strains work well, check out the 12/12 from seed thread. Northern lights, skunk #1, rocklock, grapefruit are all strains ive done 12/12 from seed and had good results.

Here's the thread https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/416589-12-12-seed-thread.html

Photo's will always give you larger yield even under 12/12. The main advantage of autoflowers is that you can flower them while you're vegging your photo's. If you're not going to do that then I wouldn't bother with auto's at all.
Thanks so much for the info and the link ...... Iv grown both with good results just never done 12/12 from seed. The cheaper electric with 12/12 is appealing also.

Ive grown a fair amount of photos 12/12 from seed and some of the phenos ive had were shite and some strains just dont respond well going 12/12 from seed. Ive never done autos but ive seen plenty that would out yield some of my bad photo phenos. You just never know what you will end up with with photos, you can increase your chances by picking a good strain and hope you get a decent pheno and most of the time you will end up with better results than autos, but to say ALWAYS im not so sure.
