In those panels in the picture? Nichia, Cree, Bridgelux.

My next set will likely be solid BridgeLux as they can offer almost every wavelength and at some great efficiencies.

I will be growing lettuces, basil, cilantro, parsley, maybe some sort of tiny onion as well in the NFT. As for the DWC, peppers and tomatoes.

Default what would you recommend?

My system is roughly 28 x 32 inches, currently I'm using two 300 watt cfls, can I use a led in combination with these cfls to improve in both growth and in flowering? If so what do you recommend? Also what kind of peppers and tomatoes are you going to grow?

Not sure on which peppers and tomatoes I'm going to cultivate this time around. As for LED, in that room size you could likely pop in a well-tuned 300w LED panel and never think about anything else ever again.
