Default Most reliable ceramic bulb?

Does anyone have a view on the most reliable and effective brand of ceramic bulb. Seen a few posts about them failing and just wondered if any were better than others.
Thanks

Why not use a reflector bulb? They are only about 60 pence each.

Some people want heat rather than light and heat.
