Environmentally preferable? Why, because the lower power requirement?
Then go with LEDs - at least you won't be polluting the environment with
mercury when replacing your CFLs.
FYI, incans are purported to quadruple in efficiency within 5-10 years -
which puts them on the level of CFLs, yet can still be used in subzero
temps, or high temps (seen any CFLs for your oven light or used any in
your fridge? (or externally 9 months out of the year in Minnesota?)),
and hopefully won't cost *$20* each for dimmable bulbs (converting my
ceiling fans to CFLs would cost $500. No thanks).
