First off, spend the extra few bucks and get this instead. $175. It laughs at both of those lights.

Secondly, if you literally cannot go over $120, I would either buy a cheap HPS or between those two the roleadro is much better.

No. CXB3590s aren't the best anymore. And they cost a stupid amount of money versus a quantum board setup or LED strips. $45 a cob + $20-30 per passive heatsink is $65-75 for 1 cob. And when you usually run cxb3590s at 50w or less... You can buy a Samsung LT564B 22" led strip for $26 and a 2" wide heatsink for $5-7. So about $30 each and you can run them up to 100 watts each.
And you usually want to run cxb3590s at 50w or less. That quantum board I linked is more efficient at higher wattages, spreads light much more evenly than COBs, and is a great light in general .A QB is essentially a COB that has been stretched over a small board instead of a tiny little chip. Means more efficiency, more penetration, more diffusion, and easier to cool.

Check my signature.
Those are Samsung LT562B 22" strips (vs LT564B). Single row, the 64B strips are double row.
I paid $17 per strip and heatsink.
Samsung F/Q/H series LED strips or bridgelux gen 1/2 strips are the best DIY LED option on the market right now. Wont go into the specifics, but it's true.

In veg and seedling stages yes. But in flower you'll want more dude. The HLG 65 is about on par with the viparspectra "300w" you mentioned. The QB132 is on par with 2 of them.

The single row strips fit perfectly on the Heatsink USA .601 profile, which is stupid cheap - $2.49 each (including shipping) in 24" length.

Those would probably work fine - you would need a 12V power supply to run them. I would suggest a LRS-100-12 from Meanwell.

that would probably work well.
