I use a 1000w hps I love it A bit expensive to run and puts out a bunch of heat but if you can utilize the heat it works great to make nice hard buds. Yield depends on grow style, what are you looking for? 1 light fills a 5x5 sq room. How many plants are you planning on having in your space?

I find using a 600w and 400w better than a 1000w in my experience as less is lost in heat and get better light coverage

I'm on my second grow with the light and in my first run I ran into so many heat issues but with a A/C I am loving the 1000w

in my next grow I plan on doing 4 plants in a dwc system, and the 4x6 room with 1000w. I am hoping to be able to get over a pound pre grow.

It takes practice but i can get 1.5 lbs per 600 watt hps. I see growers get 2-3 lbs with good producing cuts and 1000 watts. And in a 4x4 to 5x5 area.

I use 2 600’s in a 4’ x 7’ area. But i staggar my plants in different stages now.

1000w lights are still the most productive single fixture you can get for under $500, though maybe not the most efficient. If you have the ceiling height and need to illuminate a large space, it's a good option.

I still use sodium lighting for a very simple reason... the best herb I've ever seen was grown under HPS.
