i use cfl's for veg. H.P.S. for flowering.

If i had to choose between cfl or H.I.D. lights I'd go with M.H./H.P.S. combo

I use both too, but since without flower there would be no bud, I'm going MH+HPS combo.

They way i look at it is, Will HID lights they get quite hot and you are going to need to spend extra money on ventilation, if you have the money to get the lights and ventilation i would go with MH/HPS, if not CFL.

Good luck
