Any of those wattages would be just fine. For efficiency, look into a 175w (SE) Iwasaki 15K lamp, which is actually crisp white. They have almost the same intensity as many 250w halides but with even less electrical consumption. The only issue is that it will be a LOT of light, so you'll have to acclimate very carefully.
