In somewhat large spaces that are open, if they want long range for few devices, less AP's at normal or high power level is better. Ruckus is king of coverage and density. Without knowing what's in the warehouse, it sounds like 100 AP's would cause a lot of interference and too much airtime usage for beacons. I would cut that down to 25 AP's if possible and do some channel planning.
If they have a very large space and need lots of devices connected, then more AP's at low power level is better. Preferably 2.4ghz is turned off on all of them so they can use more clean channels on 5ghz if their devices support it.
