There are plenty of choices now, the main decisions to make is how much you are willing to spend, also if you are growing for quality or quantity.
Do you VEG in the flowering area also.

One of the problems with strips in a room that size is they tend to get in the way. I would suggest you DIY a board build, HLG boards are a good option if you are in the USA.
If you wanted higher quality yields then Prawns boards are good also for higher quality yeilds but at a bit more of an expense.
QB96s from HLG are also a good option if you are on a budget as well as the product from Chill led.
Apart from Prawns boards using suppliment UVA increases THC, Prawns have UVA built into them
