Dark basement - best lighting?

We're updating our semi-finished basement. Right now there is a drop ceiling (acoustic tile), with 6" recessed lights every 4-5' feet.

We're replacing the ceiling with sheetrock and want to make the area as bright and light as possible. There's virtually no natural light and the recessed lights now are not bright enough.

I thought we would just fit in a few more recessed lights. Some other suggestions were to get rid of the recessed and install flourescent panels but I can't get past the flourescents from the 70s.

Is there a " best" solution for a dark basement? Thanks.
