Auto's don't have lightening requirements like regular plants so everyone lights them between 18-24 a day until they are done, where regular flowers flower at 12x12.
The autoflower's still smell dank with a skunk hybrid so you have to have the ventilation addressed anyway. With all the other environmental factors the same, I go with the regular photo seeds for a larger yield.
Stick with the Fems, as you only want the girls anyway (or at least I do).
If your doing autoflower's, may I suggest Samsara Seeds Ultravoilet. The seed review said UV's high is euphoric. Well, I'd say it rocked my world, knocking me on my rear. Dripping with resin, this sativa hybrid rocks whether smoked, vaped or made into wax.
If I go back to auto's, Ultravoilet will be the reason.
