I would go for the stand up one, the other option would be too close to the plants and will stress them. In nature, the wind is not always “high”, too much air circulation will increase the plants transpiration, and lower humidity around the plant, which can dehydrate the leaves and stress the plant each day. So just moving the air around them works fine.
A nice way to know if your plants are happy with the light and wind is to place your hand where the plant is, does it feel good, can you keep your hand there comfortably???(not too hot nor too breezy)...
Fluorescente bulbs are very forgiven when it come to heat-burn, they make very low heat, I had plants grow up to 1-inches of it and not get sun-burn, some even touch to then start to show signs of burn. Make sure to keep a thermostat and humidifier 1-2 inches above your plants so you always know what they too is feeling like.
Most plant do not like temperature above 85f, but you have to check specs about the plant you cultivating, the more you know the happier she will be!
