I have four LED bulbs in my house (and more in my car), recently purchased. All my other bulbs are CFL. I still have CFL bulbs that are probably 12 years old. I prefer the CFL at this stage in the market's development because the selection of LEDs is smaller, the prices are wicked-high, the power-savings are not so much better than CFLs that they justify the pricing. The four LEDs I bought were for track-lighting applications for which I have never seen CFLs, and the power savings was significant when replacing halogen bulbs that fail frequently anyway. I like the LEDs I have, but I can't comment on reliability since they have only been in use a couple months.
