Despite what I've read, I've never had any bad issues with florescents in cold weather. Yeah, they might take a minute to get to full brightness, but its a garage and I don't really mind it. I've never had issues with them flickering. I don't want noisy lights, but I haven't had issues with florescents making noise either. Color I'm not too picky about either. The CFLs are yellow where my tube light is more blue.

LEDs would be cool, but not worth the cost. I'm not out there that much.

I don't think I've ever seen HIDs for normal home use.
