The sun at midday in an average location is inferior in intensity to the light put out by HIDs, at least 400-watt or larger HIDs. So yes, technology can indeed surpass the effectiveness of the sun, in a limited area anyway. Of course, sunlight is free, and it's hard to beat that in terms of light/cost.

If I could pick, like, an ounce or something from those three strains, I'd probably take the Durban Poison. But it's not something I'd want to grow. I have a Durban Poison plant growing now (female too), and it's been pretty finicky, not very tolerant of low humidity in particular. I'm probably just gonna kill it off and turn it into canna-oil since it's so finicky, but when grown out the smoke is really great if you like Sativa-type highs. (It's not my only plant, I also have five Blue Mystics vegging. If it was my only plant, I wouldn't kill it off. Heh.)
