A CFL will definitely stay cooler, where a metal halide may fry your plants, but it doesn't have a very wide area where the light stays bright. I would recommend a basic t8 shoplight about a foot away from the plants tops.
If you run a search or look at the section about lighting
(I think there is even a sticky on it)
you will find all the info you need here on TF already posted.
The subject has been extensively discussed quite a few times
and the info already here makes for nice reading.
The problem iis this is a subject that does not have many simple answers. If you only have a few plants go with CFL of about 6500k and you should do fine.
I would not recommend Metal Halide for someone with no experience.
