Most Efficient Cooling?

In choosing an A/C for a small room (5x8), would it be better to run a slightly smaller one (8,000btu?) on a more constant basis, or a bit larger one (12,000btu?) using a stop/start method?

Scenario is air cooled lights (1000 - 1400w) with a scrubber & CO2 going...
Not quite sealed but certainly not circulating.
Central cooling would be from swamp cooler.

What do you all think would be a better a/c cooling option of these two, with electrical efficiency considered secondarily?
