For a few plants in a small area in my garage would you go with a cheapo hps set up from eBay or a viparspectra? Not sure which route to take but I dont have tons of money. Maybe 200 to get set up
Which would you pick

We went with the 600 HPS, 440 fan and filter, and 4x4 tent all by Apollo. We really have enjoyed their products. The HPS is going to be around $175 delivered w/prime.

Hps kits are cheaper on eBay. Ive bought a 400 w for under 100 and 600w for around 115.
Found one for $125. Ipower is a little cheaper.

I'm a big fan of LED but the good ones cost $ unless you build your own.
Get a 600W HPS It will give you the best bang for your buck.
Check Craigslist too if your on a budget.
Then start researching how to build your own light. As much pride as you get from growing it's better if it's growing under a light you built.

Is the difference between 400 and 600 worth the extra heat?

I don't think heat should be a problem as you said you are in garage. Depends on where you are? if in Arizona then yes heat will be a problem.
If you have proper ventilation you should be fine.

A 400 will flower a 3'x3' area well.
A 600 will flower a 4'x4' area well.
Expect half a gram per watt at first and a gram per watt dialed in with experience and stable environment.
