Three 100W and a single 150W CFL are going to put out substantially more lumens than 8800, which is why I believe they are equavlent. In addition, CFLs that large are also going to be putting out a lot of heat. They are also fairly expensive--If they are actual wattage the 100Ws will run about $25 apiece and a 150W will run about $50 and probably not be a spiral bulb...and that is from someplace like 1000 bulbs, which has very inexpensive pricing. Bulbs of this size are rather a specialty item and are only available in a few places. I also doubt that a single small plant would survive 350W actual wattage if you did not have a good ventilation system set up.
