All I know about is CFL. Look at 1000bulbs.com I've read anywhere from 2 to 4 40watt CFLs are need for 1-3 plants. With a 100+ watt at the top for flowering. Also a 70/30% mix of Warm (~2700k) to Cool (~6500k) color temperature. From what I read the warm is for veg and cool is for flower. I could be wrong though, since I'm still really new to this myself.

Blunts -
I saw some 8' T12 HO dual tube fixtures are Home Depot the other day for a pretty good price (i forget exactly). Those probably work good in the long narrow space you are working with. Plus the heat output would be the lowest of all your other options.
