emitter.

better thermal attributes, and works with the mag reflector /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

it also depends on what kind of heatsink you're using. the hotlips for example, are designed to use only emitters.

emitter will do better. As emitter is small enough to through the hole of mag reflector. For luxeon star, you may required to cut down the mag reflector or cut off the star board.
