I would look into building a DIY with Cree 3590 at 3500k, that seems to be the sweet spot most are using but @sixstring is a big help there.
IMO if you are looking into pre-made units you NEED to make sure the company is telling you what type of emitters they use and not just TOP BIN bullshit. Top bin of shit is still shit just the best shit in the pile.
Look for these emitters but again the way to go is COB to start with for your money.
Osram Oslon SSL emitters in 450, 660, 730nm
Cree XPG-3 emitters 4000k
Cree XT-E Royal Blue 450nm
Cree XP-E Far Red 730 nm
Cree XP-E HE Photo Red 660m
IMO a mixture of white whether cob or white emitters and 450nm + 660nm is best with far red 730nm and UV-A+B being an add on.
