Over the past two years we have changed over all our bulbs to CFL at home and here at camp. Today's CFL bulbs are a big improvement over a few years ago and use 1/4 the energy of incandescent for the same light output.
Of course if you want 90% of the electricity to generate heat, say to keep the chicken coop warm in the winter or to operate one of those old kids toy ovens, than incandescent is the way to go.
