they are rated by wattage, higher the wattage the more lumens.
some are fancy and emit more blue light and cost more
besides the wattage rating there are two types
"regular" hps which emits alot of red light
and a fancy one that emits alot of red and some blue

the hps, flowering plants like red light
when you veg u should think about a conversion bulb, it will fit right into your hps ballast
when vegging plants like blue light. but you can veg with an hps if you want

Thanks Dh
In my first grow I used cfls, 6500k for veg, and 2700k for flower and got good results but I've realized you can't deny the power of hps for flower. I just want to be sure that I'm getting my money's worth with a 70.00 bulb when there are some out there for 13.00.
