I don't know what lights are the best, but I can tell you what I use and what some others are using. Blue photoflood bulbs. They are hot and they have a short life, but they are bright. I went to the hardware store and bought 3 domed metal hoods.. whatever they're called... with ceramic sockets (needs to be ceramic for the hot bulbs). I clip the hoods around the outside of my light tent.
These are the bulbs and where I get them, seems to be the cheapest on the web that I can find. I go through about 2 bulbs a month:

I've also ordered them thru Amazon/Adorama Camera and had a good experience with Adorama.
