I'm trying to figure out the optimal setup for a cabinet grow.
Any suggestions on achieving the highest watt to gram yield?
T5 flos? CFLs?
Ideas on cyclical cabinet grows?

If you can find a T5 fixture that is narrow enough to fit that space, that's a DEFINITE option. You can get special bulbs for veg and for flower, and swap them out for the appropriate life cycle. Hint, in early flower (week 1 and 2 of flower), you can use half-and-half blue/red to control stretch better than red spectrum alone.
I don't like CFLs for a space that size just because of the hassle and even heat of it all.
You can also start out cheap and stuff 3 4' shop lights with 2 x 40w t12 bulbs in there for veg and then flower under 3 small HPS lamps, if you really want to spend some cash on cooling.
Id try a 400watter with cool tube.Just search the net and try and find a cheap one or try bghydro thats where i get all my stuff from and there prices on lights and complete light systems are reasonable.:rasta::rastasmoke::pimp:
check 1000bulbs.com for a 400w hps to flower, and buy a handful of daylight cfls to veg. a 400w light and that space will allow for 4 or 5 big healthy plants
