Hi Gabriel,

Most of these lights tend to be fairly similar, so price it usually the biggest deciding factor.  You might consider, however, buying a unit locally so that if you have any problems you could easily return/exchange the light.  For instance, here's one at Home Depot, http://www.homedepot.com/p/Lithonia-Lighting-24-in-28-Watt-White-Grow-Light-GRW-.

With plant selection, you just need to search for lowlanders that will stay smaller.  So many of them will quickly outgrow terrariums.  N. ampullaria, N. gracilis, N. glabarata may all be good possibilities.  Stay away from plants like N. bicalcurata.  Here's why:  http://pitcherplants.proboards.com/thread/2982

Good Growing!
