As much as I love PBL for parts I just don't like their LEDs. I ordered a sample and had to sand them down just to fit.
PB are just ok - they don't have much variety and the caps are too large to fit some places. Not a significant cost savings for me to mess with again.
CT look the best IMO both lit and unlit. I mostly buy their standard frosted bulbs. They seem to be higher quality, and the prices are fair.
