Dedicated ballast, better than hps/mh interchangeable?

I only intend to buy one light setup at first. Should i get a light setup with a ballast that works for hps AND mh or just get the HPS setup and get a HPS to MH bulb for the vegetative growth? I ask because in the Indoor Growing Bible, Cervantes mentions that these ballasts that are MH/HPS burn out the bulbs quicker and arent as efficient/dont put out as many lumens and the dedicated ballasts.
