Use what you have and improve your growing knowledge and skills first.
Then if you expand look at the lights efficiency and output.
However you have to be aware that many light companies fluff their numbers and will give figures for top bin, highest efficiency diodes when they are not using those diodes. So for many it's useless. But migro does honest appraisals of light fixtures, but i also wouldn't be surprised if many companies send him out a unit with top bin diodes knowing they may not be using those for the same light sold on amazon.
If you want a recommendation, Grow lights Australia are very honest about everything they do. So are HLG.
I own lights from both companies.
Anyway, regarding other lighting, or the best lighting, it really is subjective in a way because if I lived in a very cold climate I'd still use HID lighting and probably heat my house to some degree with it too.
Different horses for different courses .
Many ways to skin a cat ect ect..
But if you take anything from this post its my first sentence. Because that has the biggest impact on increasing your yield.
You can go buy the most expensive lighting out there but if you don't learn to fill your space, grow healthy plants and chop it down at the right time you may as well be pissing your money down the drain.

1st it will depend on gentics then your environment , space your growing in , size of pots and your experience then the light ….you want to match the light to your grow space.

I keep going back to the 600w HPS...cheap ipower one too lol. Keeps the environment perfect with just a few fans for me. Just something about that orange 
but I also live in a state that's fairly cold nov-april so it all depends on your situation like said above.

The Zeus 1000w Xtreme ppfd co2 should give you pretty big buds

Thank you for your suggest. Maybe that's because this the only brand I use, I did get a good growing experience and service from ViparSpectra. Budge limited, they met my budge.
Maybe the HLG in my hand one day.
