It's going to depend on the number of plants you want to grow, if you have a preference of a certain type of light, how much you have to spend, how expensive power is in your area, etc.

Doesn't seem like a lot of light for that space. 2 or 3 of them may work for you depending on how you plan to lay plants and equipment out

The Mars light you are looking at says it's for a 2x2 foot area. That will do for 1 plant maybe 2.

I'm using 2 https://www.amazon.com/Spectrum-Tem...=1&keywords=FSGTEK&qid=1627337334&sr=8-7&th=1 in a 4x4 tent with 4 plants.

Of course, there will be many opinions lol ...

Mine? Quantum boards would work nicely size-wise. I don't have a better recommendation for lighting than that but I would also spend some time looking into ventilation, both intake and exhaust, because high temps and high humidity will be something that needs to be controlled.
