Quoted from Butterflygirl24:
I have Cointaker cool white frosted in all of my early solid state games and they don't spot and look great, as well as cut down on heat in the backbox. I also noticed that they help bring out some details and color that I hadn't noticed before. I also changed the GI to these to help with heat issues. I recently (around Christmas) ordered 500 so I could swap all of them took me a couple weeks but I managed to get them all done.

500 just for the backbox, dang! I bet that looked pretty sweet though after they were all complete.

Pretty much any 5050 single SMD frosted will work great. With colors like purple, pink, orange and yellow you can get away with brighter super(no cap) bulbs. The brighter colors like cool white usually need caps otherwise it gets that halo/spot effect.
