Your best bet is to go with the cfl's. Linear fluorescents work well for seedlings and rooting clones. They can work well for supplemental lighting too but not great as the primary light source. Best of luck my friend.

I always recommend HID lighting over fluoros. They are way more efficient than fluoros.
