how tall is your closet? in that area i would get two 400 watt digital ballasts with 2 air cooled hoods. cool tubes would work great in that kind of area but they also make good air cooled hoods that work the same. if you can get a good deal on either take what ever one you want. i think regular hoods would spread the light out better than cool tubes but your depth of your closet wouldnt matter. keep in mind you need an inline fan!

for hps or mh i would use both! if you get a digital ballast it will run both types of bulbs and you dont have to worry about getting conversion bulbs! during your veg stage use the mh and when you flower switch the bulbs to hps.

also you should think about getting some fluorescent lighting. seedlings and clones love them to start out with. with my experience in starting seedlings and clones compared to mh, the plants grew more nodes from the start and got really bushy!
