Probably MH. There are some enhanced spectrum MH that you can use for flowering.
Also, there are switchable ballasts, that you can run a MH, then switch the bulb to a HPS with no problems.
Id say an MH with red spectrum proporties comparable to a 36000K light source
Hahahaha, for some reason when I wrote that last post I felt very egocentric.
MH is all right for the generally better UV-B radiation output -- which works to improve the quantity of THC on and in your buds.
But as far as the lumen radiation output -- the shit that fattens the buds -- HPS is your lamp.
You won't get the quality with the HPS, but you'll get the quantity.
And vice versa with the MH -- quality, not quantity.
It all falls on what you -- the grower -- wants out of their plant.
