The best indoor drip system for peppers

What's the best drip system out there for peppers? I have a 2x4 tray set up w/ a reservoir right below. I haven't done the plubming yet, but I'm thinking about the following parts list for 6-8 2-3ft pepper plants and a mixture of herbs mixed in:

2x4 flood tray w/ plumb fittings to return water back to reservoir

x 1 20gal reservori filled to 15 gallons of nutrient rich h20 w/ a bubbler running full time to keep water nice and fresh.

x 1 200-300 gph pump
x 1 spider drip unit which drip line running to each plant

x 1 (per plant) round drip head - the kind that looks like a shower head - running for 15 minutes every 2hrs

8" square pots full of either rockwool starter cubes and hydroton, or a mixture of that and perlite

If this system isn't suggested for hot peppers

Thanks!!!!
