How should I run my lights?

So I’m gearing up for my 3rd grow and trying to upgrade as much as my pocket will allow.

I just placed an order from BudgetLED for the Series 2+ Red Spec 250w (3500k) LED light.

So I’ll have the 250w LED, the 150w HPS (SunSystem HPS 150) and a cheap 100w Blurple LED.
I’ve read a little about hybrid light setups and wondered if it would be best to run both the 250w LED and the 150w HPS together.
If so, should I run them both through the whole veg to flower cycle or just the LED in veg and the LED/HPS in flower?

Should I run the blurple as supplemental light or no?

edit: forgot to say, it’s a 2x4 tent.

The 250w will veg that space easy. I'd think about ditching the blrple. For ultra efficiency you could dim to about 175w to 200w for veg and flower with the led only at 250W. I run a 4x4 with twice those.

Twice the wattage?
And so you say use only the LED and not use the HPS or cheap LED at all?
