I chose the TruckLites, because they give more even light spread than the other options.
They also give straighter horizontal cutoff vs others, which allows aiming them a bit higher without blinding on-coming traffic.
The light spread is wide enough to shed light on the road or trail sides.

I've got the KCS LEDs and they're fine. Whatever you get, take the time to aim them properly. Once I mounted mine, the were a little high and right.

Another thing you may want to consider --

Some LED headlights flicker a bit, some don't.
My TruckLites had a barely noticeable flicker, sometimes, and only if in front of a wall.
It didn't bother me, but then I read that the flicker may harm the LEDs' electronics.
I don't know if that's true or not, so I added the anti-flicker just to be on the safe side.

I love my truckloads, very bright. I worry sometimes that I'm blinding on coming traffic but hardly ever get flashed at. I need to check my adjustment as I'm due for VA state inspection and this is probably the only thing that I might get hit for. Also I often am careful when driving behind traffic as I can always see people adjusting there mirrors when I'm behind them.

So I just went out and adjusted the height of low beams so that 5 feet from bumper lights low beam top height adjusted to 40.5". I really don't know what the "legal" height they are to be adjusted to but it is very simple up/down adjustment with a torx tip T-15. Adjustment screw for drivers side is located 2:00 o-clock position and passenger side adjustment screw is located at 10:00 position. I've only been driving with these lights for almost a year (too high I think) but I didn't have anyone get out and complain. I love them and to me was one of the best investments as the stock lights really suck. I think I got mine last December with pigtails for $400.00.
