The LED halos are LEDs like the name implies. The LEDs draw a slightly lower voltage, but doesn't really make that big of a difference in that department really. LEDs basically will outlast your car in life, but the CCFL are long life fluorescent light rings...they will burn out before LEDs do... In regards to looks, I haven't seen the LEDs in person, but have seen pics. CCFLs look nicer turned off because they're smooth, but really not that big a deal. Since I haven't seen the LEDs in person, I can't say which are brighter, but that will also depend on the color, brand, all kinds of factors.

Overall, I'd say LEDs win.
