I go with the expensive three phase 1000w ballasts with ignitors and the cheap $89 hps. All of our commercial ops are equipped with cheap two phase 1000w/mh ballasts and superace hps.
Ive had incredible results from my sunpulse bulb. Its a 600w 3000k rated MH bulb designed to work specifically with digital ballasts for flowering. Its a MH which is uncommon for flowering bulbs but it produced some of the stickiest buds ive grown to date so im a firm supporter. They run a little more than your eye hortilux (about $120) but it will last MUCH longer, as HPS bulbs are not designed to run smoothly with digital ballasts, and is supposed to be a "better fit" to the light spectrum needed during flowering. Check it out, its definitely worth looking into and if you need an example of the bud grown under it feel free to check out my grow 600w Cheese grow LST.
