Philips is generally a safe bet, and G.E. + Osram are as well. The generic crap at Home Depot and Amazon and Walmart that costs 1/4 as much will probably perform awful, but could be a hidden gem. Some dead giveaways are total lack of heatsinks and low price, but higher price does not necessarily equal good quality.
