throw them all in the bin
Using the pinballlife ablaze ghost buster frosted domes at present for bg and inserts. It has enhanced my Sinbad a lot. Also used the standard ablaze white 1 led for coloured inserts and plain inserts ( getaway HS2 - playfield is cooler using theses) Also makes the coloured inserts in my Devils Dare really pop.
Comet pinball non ghosting 4 smd for inserts and frosty domes for GI from pinball-LED.
Optix Maximus and Ultimate Optix from Comet Pinball
4smd for GI from onestoppinball and premium 2 led superbrights non ghosting kits from pinball LED
Use my 4smd superbrights (for sale at 50p each) mixed with 47 and 555 incandescents.

Im toying with the idea of leding my roadshow.
What do you recommend using for the inserts?
the ones that are pcb mounted?

555 4smd superbright. White is good for Roadshow.
Don't overdo LEDs in backbox, they often are too spotty and end up looking like xmas trees.
Pinball Daze's 4SMD's are perfect for inserts, good price too!. The single led Superbrights that Pinball Heaven and Pinball LED seem equally good, having a single larger led.
I put frosted Leds in the GI and the Backbox, usually cool white but sometimes other colours look good, personally preference really.
Avoid yellow and orange frosted leds, for some reason they don't seem to be very bright and look bad from the side. (and white 555's are more effective for purple inserts)

What he said, the best, I've tried Cointaker Pinball centre EU, but the Comet ones are the Daddy!
Same here.
I use their single 5050's and twin 2835's with an LED OCD board, therefore not the non-Ghosting types.
Used specific colours on the Spider-Man inserts and it looks really rich, but may use only warm whites on all AFM's... Not decided yet.
I always colour match with inserts although this has more effect with blues and greens, with red the difference between a red led or white seems minimal most of the time.
Art is very helpful if you ask nicely.
Art is very helpful all the time!! 
Not in 5 orders from him. Touch wood .
Just don't put them darn 44's (250mA) on your playfield ! Throw them in the bin, but make sure there's no dry tissues in there as they'll still be hot !
Are we speaking from experience Dave?
You are not wrong there Paul, if you have any questions about LEDs dont expect a 1 line answer from him. Infact don't expect a 1 page answer!Art is very helpful all the time!!
seriously he is very knowledgeable on all things LEDs.
