We run a grow with similar conditions; loads of heating needs come wintertime. But also very hot on summers.
What really helped us was doing flipflop 12/12 sharing the air thru the rooms. So while one side is on heating up, the off room is drawing from that heat.
Also setting up so that we can change HID for led according to need for heat.
If you can divide your space in 2 you would be able to do something similar. With meanwell B-type drivers you could place the drivers of one room in the other half, thus moving the heat completly out of the room lit to a place where the heat would be needed. But as you can do remote dimming on this type driver you could still dim from your lit room.
As for boards: qbs are great. Hlg is excellent the china boards are not far behind.
We mainly use the qb800/fotop board from meijiu. 800 leds, 3x1 feet size board, no need for heatsink up to 200w. Gives a nice and fairly even spread and can get in close to the cannopy, about 12 inches. This kind of board is ideal for openspace as it allows to get your panel in close to cannopy, and with less weight than a setup that require heatsink.
The big boards also makes nice side light, so you can flower real tall plants for your 12 foot roof.
