Too many lights, too little room (opinions needed)

So I moved into a new house, which I have space to construct about an 8x8 grow room (veg and flower). I have accumulated a variety of lights through the years, and I will have a limit on power draw of about 20 amps (120 line). Looking for recommendations on sizes of veg and flower room, as well as which lights to use where.
Currently I have 2x315w LEC, 1- 6 bulb quantum badboy T5, I have a Lumigrow 650, and an Area 51 unit, (150 watts, white and red, can't remember the model) I also have a few others I don't use much, I have an old CMH with a mag ballast, as well as a 400 HPS unit and a 8-bulb Sunblaze VHO T5. The latter units probably will not see action.
Anyone have opinions on what should be veg light/flower light? What would you do for veg space/flower space? I do like to veg my plants a bit, no SOG for me... Opinions appreciated!

I have good luck with HO T5 light for the first 3 weeks and then switch to 400watt retro CMH.

The 400 really boosts any runt seedlings.
