There are so many conflicting views on lighting, so you'll hear a lot of preferences. You can grow with HIDs (most common it seems), CFLs, or LEDs. If you are ordering a cheap "300W LED" from China, I would recommend instead getting a Mars Hydro Old Model LED. They are the same price (around $100 USD with free shipping), and actually draw 185W. I know because I ordered 2 different models from sites that claimed 185W real draw, and weren't even close. Mars actually holds to that. I now have 2 of them, with decent results. I still have to get all my other factors in line, but these lights seem to be pretty good. For more lighting info, check out:

As for how many lights you need, I have no idea how large Autos get. Someone else will have to chime in!

How big is your space? Figure 40-50 real watts per sq ft. I have a mars 900 in a 10 sq ft tent (450 real watts)=45w/sqft.

Depends on how much you want to yield? Basic rule says around 1g/watt but it my varies by many factors.. so better expect 0,6g/watt or less if unexpirienced.. But normally you could hit eaven more than 1g/watt specially with LEDs which are known as better yielders, when you gain some expiriences 
If you're looking after LEDs I'd suggest you Mars Hydro LED - the Best Solutions for Horticulture and Indoor Plants I'm using their lights and I can tell this lights are great, really great for its price
