barebulb vertical orientation for the win, ...make a weed donut.
...it's far better to have a larger fan that can be turned down with a speed controller to control your heat than it is to have either a cooltube OR an air-cooled hood.
...do some research, vertical growing is the next frontier.

...you asked what would be 'better' and by that i assumed you meant "what would yield me the most product for the least hassle?"
...i answered that question and you are certainly free to ignore my post.
peace, bozo
could also get this one with the econo tube 6in reflector what would be better

...no need to apologize man, i have a VERY thick skin, ...and it's still not too late for you to save your money and buy a larger fan rather than limiting yourself to horizontal growing before you even look into vertical growing.

A cooled reflector is better than a cooltube. I have a cooltube gathering dust.
I have considered going vertical in my 3 x 3 tent, but it just won't work. My tent has to sit in a corner and I can only access the plants from two sides.
It would be really tight with a 600 watt too.
I really like vert, but it won't work in my space.

...i can link you to a grow i know where the guy is running 2 stacked 400s, barebulb style, in a 3 x 3 space, ...if you get the right fan/speed controller you can probably make it work bro, 1x 400 is nothing to deal with.
peace, bozo

You already bought it - time to move on & grow !
I have not used either of these products, but I like the design of a reflector better than a tube (for horizontal grow).
Reflectors performance depends on quality/design of metal reflecting insert, integrity of glass seal, air flow, etc. You should be fine.
Hook up a quality fan w/variac controller & best wishes !
