I just saw this article - it has a pretty good comparison of 5 brands of bulbs by price, claimed lumens, actual lumens, efficiency and run up time (how long it takes to get to full brightness).

Unfortunately the table from the article is not available on line without registering, but the rest of the article is worth reading. It also has info on spill clean up.
