Default What's the best bulb "TYPE"?

So... just talking about REGULAR bulbs...not the make, but just the TYPE...which is best...and why?

IE - H1, H3, H4, H7, 9005, 9006, etc...?

I personally like H1 bulbs...just because most HID systems use them....but really..I can't complain about my H4s...dual filimet bulbs, inexpensive....oh well!

those are solely for individual manufacturer fitments. pull out your factory bulb and take it to autozone.....look at the plug-in's on all of their headlight bulbs. the best one will look like your stock bulb.

Well, I'm trying to find out which design is best. Obviously H3's suck for anything other than a fog lamp because the filament is so small as well as the volume of gas inside. Also, I've read that H3s are bad for projector usage because of the horizontal filament instead of a vertical filament.

So...maybe I should reword this. Which design is best?
