For flower only 3000k better.

My opinion is that 2700K 90CRI with added 630nm would be the best.

I ran 3500k for a year because I vegged and flowered under the same light... I love 3500k for both... the extra blue "could" bring out the smells and flavours more... it also "could" limit stretch..

( the "could" is not 100%... every environment ,strain, grower etc etc are different.. we are still in real world testing what does what to cannabis )
