I think HID is the safer bet. they cost much more to run, but it seems when getting LEDs, you really do need to shop for only certain panels as others lack the ability to push lumens through the canopy whereas HID always has this ability. For the record, I own the bottom shelf products, but even still, I only paid a little over $180 for a 600 watt cool tube combo with dimmable digital ballst, the cool tube, XL reflector, 600 watt ballast, 15 amp timer, and 2 rope ratchet hangers. My 400 watt hood is also the same brand and I am on my second grow with it in veg (last grow I used it for flower). Point is, You'd be very hard pressed to find an LED that cheap and work as good. That's just my 2 pennies though.
