I'd go MH during veg for sure. If its an HPS ballast just grab a conversion bulb (online, not 2-3x hydrostore markup). Way better spectrum for vegging than any hps, healthier plants with a lot less stretching .
I also think with limited space and just one light, why not stick with 400w in veg and get that much more budsite development before flip? The difference in outcome should far outweigh additional electricity cost. The 400w mh would make a fine veg lamp, then swap to hps for flowering, then back to mh at the end. No additional cost beyond the second bulb, then they both end up getting half as much action (last twice as long).
Giving the plants a rest in veg is good, have mine on 20/4, except for clones taken in flower are on 24/0. Apparently certain strains can be sensitive too, no experience on that though.
