Ya HO and PC are the same thing. 
Now if they are good or not depends on what you want to keep in you aquarium and how big it is.  I used two of these units when I first started and I would say they are good for Soft corals like Mushrooms / Zoos / Leathers and fish of course.  If you wanted anything else in the tank I would really consider MH or at least VHO
