Whatever type of lights you go with ... choose daylight bulbs.
You will get a much cleaner, clearer light that will let you see your true fabric colours better!
I have fluorescent in my sewing room ... lots of them, so that the room is well lit, and with few shadows. That's one good thing about a suspended ceiling as you can always add more ... and yes, I keep thinking I must might do that!
No matter what type of lighting you choose, the trick is to make sure you get the coverage where you are working ... height of the fixture, type of shade, wattage, # bulbs, etc. are all factors that can get you more or less light.
