If your going led don't go cheap, cheap leds suck. I run cree, citizen, luminous cobs and hlg 288v2 quantum boards. They all grow good, well I just got the quantum boards last week so time will tell. I don't have have any experience with the screw in leds that you linked. I do use 9w screw in bulbs with the globes removed in my veg cabinet with good results.
Luminous cxm22 cobs
Good leds can be had for a decent price definitely more than a hid system. If your good a diy you can build a good light for $1 a watt. Good places to look

The strip builds on led gardener are a cheap and a good option for budget minded folks.
 
Grown under 4 Cree cxb 3590, 2 luminous cxm22 chips at 280 watts.

It will grow fine just don't expect a huge yield. Yield has more to do with skill than lighting. What strain are you working with?

I've heard of it but never grew it tho. I prefer something that flowers in 8 weeks or so. I would stick with 1 plant per pot so one doesn't out compete the other for root space.
Canopy management is going to be important with only one light. Topping and training will help even out your canopy.

The bigger the root ball the bigger the yield. The plant can't produce more that the roots can support. I use 2 gal pots and I get 3 zips per plant on average.
