For reliability I would go with the sealed LED's They draw considerably less power from the car, they don't get hot and are much brighter and quicker to light up, always a benefit for safety.

What Beetle said, I have had great luck with the Wesbars. Never unplug, just dunk it. I have replaced two of the sealed replacement bulbs in 6 years. I'll replace with LED when it's time.

I use the cheep bell type lights about 10.00 a light. I went with the LED for two seasons and they were a pain in the butt. when they crap out I just chop them off and replace them.
If you install the LED do not tighten them very tight, just snug them up or you will crack them and they will fill with water.
I like the LED for side markers.
