Growing corals

I was under the impression until lately that growing SPS or softies, was easier than growing LPS corals.
But some research has proved differently.
Which is easier?
What WPG should I being aiming for to grow the easier of the two? possibly both. I'm looking for intermediate range.
I have a 58 gallon oceanic.
was planning on getting a 150 watt Metal halide, I already have a 96 watt Pc fixture that I planned on changing to Actinic.
that makes 246 watts...or 4.2 WPG.
According to the charts I've seen that doesn't seem like it's going to cut it.

What should I really be aiming for??
