Philips X-tremeVision is what I run. I don't run halogen bulbs with any sort of coating that tries to emulate the whiter light of LED's, since that actually hinders the beam as well as making the bulb even hotter, so they'll burn out really fast. I'm guessing Sylvania's Xtra-Vision would be comparable to the Philips X-tremeVision, but I haven't run the Sylvania's personally.

Now if you want the ones that last the longest? Buy the cheapest 'OEM' bulbs from either Philips or Sylvania. They will last the longest, but will be the least brightest of them all.

Anybody have any comment on the the difference between stock halogen, and upgraded Ultra or Xtra Vision halogen?

Scissors, did you notice a big difference?

Stock halogen is pathetic. Not changing out to legit LED housings at this time.

I noticed a bit of a difference changing to the X-tremeVisions on my 2020. You know where I noticed even more improvement though? Having my lights aimed by a shop equipped with an optical headlight aiming machine. Even though my truck is new, the beam was aimed too low. I can actually drive at night now!
