The best ones I've had are some "corn cob" bulbs I bought on Amazon a few years ago. They came in unlabeled packaging so don't know what brand they are. I have them in outside fixtures and so far they have held up. I don't buy from Amazon anymore and have not been able to find those elsewhere locally, or I would have them in the garage as well.
Indoor bulbs I have bought from Lowes. GE or Feit are the brands I've seen. Just had to replace one in the laundry room the other day as it had developed a strobe-light like flicker. Bathroom has clear glass globe lights, I recently bought some GE LEDs to replace those ($16 for 4 bulbs). They look more like incandescents, the LEDs are in thin thread-like arrangements that look more like indandescent filaments. We'll see how those hold up. They do kick off MUCH less heat than the incandescent bulbs, which is something.
