I'm thinking of changing out my 194 bulbs in my speedo with LEDs and am not really sure which ones to use. I buy bulbs often from an eBay seller and he's great. I asked him about which bulbs would be "best" for the application, and (of course) he recommended the most expensive ones (and I teased him about that!). His "matrix" bulbs seem more suited for tailight/driving light applications but possibly overkill for the cluster. Here's his "inventory" of what's for sale.

I've seen others use 4-led bulbs with great success. They're also $3 less which means $18 for the whole setup. Even basic 6 LED (non-matrix) bulbs would save $2/bulb.
I tend to go for the "best" when I buy stuff, but also don't like to spend for the sake of spending.
What would you do, if in my shoes?
