I prefer the small halogens to the small LEDs. The halogens cast a wider light pattern, which is a plus and a minus. The LEDs are a lot more visible from far away, so if visibility is what you're concerned with, go LED. However I wanted a general-purpose backup light so I wanted it to also help me see where I'm going. The LED lights are NOT very good for that in my experience.
