If you want what I consider to be the best bulb then youd go ceramic metal halide. They have a CRI over 90 and the most sun-like spectrum of any bulb on the market. Lots of money for a 1k though (around $200). You can get 400w retrofit CMH that will run in a HPS ballast for around $50.
This is what I am using in my growroom. the CMH is the best way to go.
