Beware of cheap LED bulbs (and cheap CFLs, but really crappy CFLs are harder to find these days) that may die quickly. Some of the teardowns of early LED bulbs revealed poor electronic and mechanical design along with crappy assembly techniques. More recent designs from major manufacturers are dealing with the heat from the LEDs much more effectively than earlier ones.

Edit: Tangentially related but I've got these strip lights in my house that use these bulbs and they fail like mad. Is there an LED option for them that's reliable?

Look for LED bulbs with the GU10 base, for example: http://1000bulbs.com/search/?filter%5Bcategory%5D=2000&filter%5Bbase+type%28text%29%5D=GU10
