I can currently fit about 50 6" black pots in my flower room, but want to switch To hydro eventually. Three of these suckers would fit in my room, and are space effecient, because I would fit 36 plant sites (almost as many as now with soil), except it would be hydro so bigger faster Yield.
1st time hydro I wouldn't do Drip or Aero. Instead consider; Deep Water Culture (DWC) or Ebb&Flow (Flood); system(s). My 1st and what I stuck with for awhile was DWC with buckets &/or storage containers. I use a nebulizer to over saturate the water with oxygen since it pumps way more air, faster for less.
But wanting to do a larger more commercial scale: Ebb and flow are very easy to construct, they promote vigorous growth, and their maintenance is fairly carefree. with it you can use rockwool cubes or clay pellets, many hydroponic mediums.
I don't like drip irrigation (this slightly effected my answer) if one hose gets clogged and you don't notice fairly soon, you could be asking for it
Yes i can see that, thats for the advice. Anyone wanna recommend a how-to tek or at least An idea for a flood table for my small (5'X3'X4') flower room? Id like it to hold 20-50 small plants for a perpetual sog, and flood tables Sound nice and tidy.
Here is one using a homemade flood table, dixie cups, and lava rock from the hardware store.

go with Magash, he packs #s in areas, I would never do, but with fabulous results. my plants are packed, but containers don't allow that packed. Magash' shit looks like Auto-flowers but there not *I assume* Best of luck to you there
I like the idea of not driving a hundred miles for hydroton. Ive been thinking about lava rocks, but didnt think solo cups could work for hydro thats cool as hell. Thats def. something ill be trying to build. A little more search on flood tables And im sure i can rig something like that up. But nah i dont think you can beat Magash's Solo cup shit haha
