What light?

Im looking into getting a light or lights. I wanna be able to do 6 to 8 plants at a time in soil and 5 gallon pots. What do you guys think the best light would be?

The one that best fits your situation. Lots of variables like budget, grow space dimensions, environment etc.

30-40 watts per square foot is comon with LED. Roughly $350-$1500 for 500 watts. HID is much cheaper but less efficient and may need more canopy to light distance. Less efficient means more heat for a given amount of light, an important consideration. Low 80s temp is good with led, several degrees less with hid.

Check out the led and other lighting section of RIU.
