This is my go-to reference for all things halogen bulbs:
Daniel Stern Lighting - Blue Bulbs
To paraphrase his site, the Silverstars do not produce more lumens than OEM bulbs. The blue filter makes the bulb output appear white / brighter. However, because the blue filter robs lumen output, the manufacturer alters the filament in the bulb to produce the legal lumen output at a cost of filament life.
To those who don't want to go HID / LED / HIR, look at lumen output of the bulb you want. You want something with the highest possible lumen output.
Right now, the Philips bulb seems to have the best lumen output:

vs

You can see the sheer difference in lumen output. I'd be quite curious what type of life you'd get out of the Philips.
That being said, I went RadioFlyer and never looked back. The only thing I'm not wild about with the Radio Flyer is the cutoff shake due to the stiff suspension and weak pop up mechanism.

My retrofit is with Morimoto FX-R 3.0 (2.5" lens). I could have gone the easy way with Mini H1 7.0s but wanted a challenge, lol. They should be done this weekend.
