LED Longevity

At my work there is a big vaulted entryway with impossible can lights to replace. Lights are 24 feet up on an angled ceiling. My electrician is trying to talk us into making the jump to LED bulbs. Now I'm in the midst of doing the leg-work to justify the 50-100 bulbs to the boss.

I need to know how well the higher end spot lights last when they are on 24/7 as its a public entryway. I only need to get 800-1500 lumen out of them as right now I have 2 of 5 cfl's working and they started life at 1500 lumen.

Finally does anyone have suggestions on brands and models of lights.
I found one with a 100lm/watt but $500 on the 5 bulbs i need will be a hard sell.

Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
