domestic spots are mainly gu-10,that way you have a choice of led/cfl and the newish 'energy saver' halogen bulbs.
12v halogen can be utilised where you require halogen with dimming facility.

any fluorescent or 2d lights for utility, garages etc.,try to get 'electronic ballast' type for rapid start.

some of the wholesalers like 'CEF' can assist with the lighting design
