 question on ballast and setting up 400 watt HPS - technical questions

so i bought a sun leaves aurora reflector for 35 bucks the other day, and im looking up everything else i need to get the light in full operation.
 
i plan on getting a 400 watt digital lumatek ballast. few questions on this...
i may be mistaken, but it seems as if there are 2 choices here. a 400 watt 120V ballast, and a 400 watt 240V ballast. which is better, or is it both 120V and 240V? i dont understand electricity at all. and also, from the ballast i need the lamp socket. now, are they universal, or do i need some kind of attachment? does it matter what brand of reflector i have?

120/240 refer to what kind of plug you'll be using...if its a standard household plug its a 120v.
You need a mogul socket for the bulb, the socket itself shouldn't be brand specific, but the cables to go from ballast to socket might be.
