LED lights are fine if you have the budget for them, but if you want to use the entire 5x5 tent, you'd want at minimum, 2 900-watt LEDs (preferrably with 5-watt LEDs for better penetration). Nothing wrong with Mars Hydro. You could always just buy 1 to start, and use only half the tent.
A Single 1000-watt HPS light with a vented hood and 8" fan is what I use in a 5x5 tent with good results.

You would also need, bulbs (MH for veg., HPS for flowering), hangers, ducting for the vented hood, and optionally a carbon filter if you want to control smell. Also, professional growers typically replace their bulbs every 6 months because they lose that much brightness over time...so you might want to factor that in.
One final note is that LEDs do have the advantage that you can grow taller plants...as they are lower profile, and you don't need the same amount of space between the tops of the flowers and the light.
Oh, and what the LED lights draw from the wall is different from what they are listed as...typically they draw about half the amount they are listed at. So an LED that is listed as 900 watts, is actually using closer to 450-475 watts of electricity. The general rule of thumb for lighting is that you want a 35-50 watts of light power per square foot of canopy (for LEDs, you would use the amount of power actually used for this calculation).
Then get a max fan by can fan I love mine.
