both CREE and GE are LED bulbs.

i like the CREE a bit better; you can buy a 5-pack for like $40 so that makes them a little more cost effective plus the 60 and 100 watt bulbs are dimmable which is nice and they really have the most 'natural' yellow light i've seen that mimics the good old incadescent.

however that was 6 months ago

so there's probably something newer & better by now.

the GE 'gimmick' is the ability to use your phone to turn the bulbs off but you need an additional $20 or so brain (they're running a special right now).

i dont see the point of that extra money for remotely controlled bulbs.

and i freaking hate CFLs. i swear to god not a single CFL bulb i've bought has lasted longer than an incadescent and like you pointed out...DAT BUZZING

From what I've been told, the CFLs don't last because they're not meant to be turned on and off as much as people normally turn lights on/off. This person went on to say it would actually be cheaper over the life (potential-per manufacturers claims) of the bulb to just leave them on all the time. Could be bullshite. And may have been more true when CFLs were less prevalent.
