I would go with HLG. This is why.

Its like having the Sun in your tent. I get over 2 lbs dried, cured and no stems off my Photos.

Personally I like having two lights instead of one big light. Gives you a little flexibility for whatever reason you might need one light a little higher than the other one. Just sharing my thoughts good luck with your new light.

I have a 4 by 4 space and running two HLG 260 R-Spec XL the 260 might cut you a little short on a 5x5 space if you’re interested in the HLG ,I would look at the website and see what the next size up to cover a 5 by 5 space.

Neither is technically big enough to flower a 5x5 on 12 hour schedule and hit max DLI. If I was limited to the two, I would definitely buy hlg light over spider farmer.

I have no idea about actual performance of this light. But if specs are accurate its tight there with gavita and fluence flagship models, and $200-$500 cheaper. If I was looking to save a few bucks on 5x5 light, I would probably go with one of these.
