Depends what you'd like to spend really. Fluoros are the cheapest and are fine for personal grows but if you want high yield you'll have to invest in HPS. With standard fluoros you could buy everything from your local DIY store for less than £50. Prices for compact fluoros vary from store to store, and for a good make of HPS for hood ballast and bulb you're not getting much change out of £150-180.

peace :)

flouros are great for seedlings and vegging, probably better than hps. mh for vegging though is best but that does mean having three light setups if youve got hps for flowering aswell.
but then again you could have all three stages of growth going on simultaneously, all under their best light spectrum and you'd be made for life thats such a good idea i think ill do it myself. good luck
