Use the Basic kit and "stress test" it by having dirt as plant holders and light blocker. Run the pump more than needed to stay at max pressure. Don't change the reservoir but simply add water and more nutrients as the levels decrease. Let the plants drink all the liquid in the reservoir and let it dry run for a few days to see how fast the plants take damage and if they can come back after a few days of "dry running".
