The cost is my main issue so Im trying to conserve, granted they pay for themselves in short time.

Go dimmable, that's for sure. Also 70 or 100 degree optics would spread the best without sacrificing PAR. And the tapped heatsink will probably save you some time, probably worth the extra money IMO.
