We haven't found a brand that lasts anywhere near as long as they are supposed to. They're already more expensive than incandescent bulbs, add in that you have to buy them more frequently and they're really up there. But, 99% of the lighting in our house are high hats and the LEDs definitely do not put as much heat into the room so we keep buying them.
One thing about living where the Arctic Circle dips down (well, not quite) is that in summer at peak we have 16 hours of daylight. In winter at the 'daylight minimum', we have eight. Since winter temps get well below zero with regularity, the heat from the incandescent bulbs wasn't wasted, it helped heat the place, and in the room you were using. In summer, we rarely used them, because it was daylight from 5AM to 11PM, so, very little waste heat.
I stocked up on hospitality industry grade 60W incandescents, and haven't regretted it.
