I would go with a super sun 2 or a magnum. The magnum is a bit larger and cost a bit more but it has a more even light distribution than the ss2. The ss2 and the magnums have the most even light distribution of most of the air cooled hoods.

Someone did a thread with extensive measuring with many different hoods and the 6" magnums won with the ss2 right behind.

The ss2 is the best value for sure.
 
Blockbusters have the best spread if your space is square-ish...very intense. Haven't been able to try out the new Blazer that SS claims is the most efficient yet...we will see.

I would stick with anything Sunlight Supply.
