When taking clones should I get them going of some cfi's or would it be better to get them going with my 400w MH light?

CFLs. cfls. they dont need much light. a 400watter is overkill.

If not a killer for clones. CFL or just regular flouros work great for clones

MH you have to keep far away because of heat stress and some statistic like each ft your light efficiencyr reduces 50%.
Keep fluorescent lights going. I run 140 watts of fluorescent power for my cloner keep it close to the cloner so they don't stretch and your golden. You'll save power = less energy so more profit!

If you have neither cfl's or fluorescence, you can always put them in the corner of your grow room far from the h.i.d. until they root. Assuming you are not growing in a tent, or not on a 12/12 schedule.
Best option is what Light House said.

cuttings need very little light and a dedicated light is just a waste. mine get side light from my vegger t5's.

Would it be okay to sprout and veg them with a 400 watt metal halide?

Yes it would be fine brother but just keep the light further away than CFL's because of the heat stress it can produce, which is never a good thing. Best of luck
