Mars Hydro, definitely. I own both, and it's no contest. At least with my units.
The Galaxyhydro 300W just doesn't seem to make my plants happy. This is their 100x3W unit found on amazon a year ago. It's become quite noisy. I occasionally use it as supplement to my MH in veg., and used it to start some vegetable seeds, but I can't trust it for growing a plant start to finish.
The Mars has been a badass. Admittedly it's a pricier unit, but it's worth the extra money vs. Galaxyhydro, and grows plants very well. I've grown about 10 plants under it so far and it's been a great product. Still quiet, no fan rattle.

Oh please!
Unless you build COBB LEDs......LED lighting is generally weak in bloom......It can be used a supplemental lighting in bloom but, I wouldn't rely on it for my main or only light in bloom.
