I want to know the best way to match the lights and colors from a real photo shoot.
I now do it manually by adding similar lights but this is much trial and error.

Is it better to shoot a hdr 360 panorama and use it as light source or is it any better method?

As far as I know, IBL using an HDR image should be used to support existing light(s) in your scene to add realistic indirect lighting, as opposed to lighting the entire scene by itself.

Also some good information in this thread:
