I would go with flo's, led's suck ass for everything, they don't even work well for cloning. This is coming from someone that has actually tried using LED's. I only use 2 of these lights show in the pic per shelve of clones. 50 per shelf

LED's dont suck ass, I've had good results with them. It also depends on what LED's you buy, not all LED's are created equal. I would go with LED's since you can use them for vegging and flowering and you will get some very frosty buds with led's. So far I've used the hydrogrowled.com lights and i'm very happy with them. I'm also going to purchase an LED ufo light from ebay for my veg area.
 
I'm using a 600w HPS for flower. I'm just curious about the LED's vs Fluoro's for veg. My mothers need some good light and both can be very close to the plants. The more feedback i can get the better. I've seen grows with LEDs and HPS and the LED's seem to do well. I'm just wondering what you guys use.
 
I'm using the 126W penetrator from http://www.hydrogrowled.com/. I'm going to harvest pretty soon so I'll take some pic's as soon as I get them. I also heard prosource makes some great lights also. Are you deciding on what kind of light you want on electricity or heat issues? I use cfl light for vegging but thinking about upgrading to a UFO LED from prosource pretty soon since I wont have to keep changing bulbs every few months.
 
I have cfls to start. but i've burned and killed 4 week old plants with cfls at 2". (NO nutes or anything) I want either the fluoro's or the LED's b/c i know i can have that shit touching the plants without a problem. anything below 150w is what i'm looking for. if i had a bigger space i would use my 150w hps but, i dont feel like dealing with heat issues anymore.
