What about lm301b and cree3590

To resume:

My setup plan is : 12pcs BXEB-L0560Z-35E2000-C-B3 (3500K) (560mm x 24mm) per HLG-320 driver
OR 6pcs of 3000K + 6pcs of 5000K per HLG-320 driver

What do you all recommend me between using only 3500K or mixing 3000K and 5000K?

EDIT: ANOTHER ONE QUESTION

Each strip is 39V but the driver is a HLG-320-48 (48V). How does this work?
No another driver would be a better fit like the 320-42. This would give you about 300W
The 320-36 might be able to work as well but it's on the edge of providing enough voltage. But you would get full driver utilization like this. You might want to consider an AB model or B model if you want dimming.

sort of related question. Do the drivers automatically adjust voltage and amperage in their specified range to so they can give their max watt rating? Or are they static in their output unless the Vo and Io pots are adjusted?

No. That would be constant power drivers.
Output current is static unless you use Io. But a board wouldn't be able to draw more of that current than what voltage permits. This what you do to do voltage throttling of output.
Under nominal voltage it works like a constant current driver.
Imh understanding...

Look at this vidéo. This guy put 16 strips (4pcs more than I wanted) and connect 2pcs HLG-320 to them.
Can I do the same setup but with BXEB-L0560Z-35E2000-C-B3 strips? 16strips and not 12.
Maybe the efficient of his strips are better?

Every strip draws a certain voltage and handle a certain amperage. Not all strips are created equal. You have to evaluate every strip and driver set together. You can't just compare number of strips when he's using photoboost strips or something and you are using Bridgelux.

Honestly I would strongly recommend going HERE and following the designs for the Bridgelux builds (2x4, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5), all the math and part selection has been done for them and the only thing you need to figure out is how to arrange the strips for your area.

As long as the wiring stays connected the same way, you can position the strips however you like. As @MidnightSun72 said, the 2 ft / 560mm strips are more versatile when it comes to handling and final placement. The prices of various parts are included in the guides, some prices are a bit outdated and are generally cheaper now.

There are also written and video tutorials on the site, it's a great resource when getting started in DIY.
