That conversion buld is to be used in a ballast designed for the opposite type of bulb.

If you get a switchable ballast, you can avoid using a "conversion bulb" and just use a regular MH for veg and a regular HPS for flowering (you just flip a switch on the ballast). The main difference is the ballast required to fir it and the major price difference. If you buy an HPS ballast and use a conversion bulb, it will cost more and they don't really have the life of a regular bulb.
ok great so what brand or light would you say i should buy online ( what store ) ?

i might just get a diff setup since you say building it is cheaper.
