LED Dash LIght Radius??

I have found several posts about Changing the dash lights to LED. Used the site most people recommend. However most posts were awhile ago and while the say 194 Mini Wedge, that search brings up a whole lot of options. Front facing, side facing, some look encased in glass and some just have the diode on a stick. All effecting Radius.
So my question is anyone have any suggestion on which one and mostly what RADIUS works best? I read wider radius covers more but would be a dimmer illumination, so logic would say don't go with a 360 radius. But how much is too much and how much is not enough? 120, 90, 35, 32. Here is the narrowed selection. Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated.

i got the 5th one down, WLED-x4-x but in red for my firebird. 90 degree, they are plenty bright and in fact i turn the dimmer down a bit. I also got them in blue but for my 89 blazer, which is a larger cluster with less lights, and they are just bright enough. be sure to count exactly how many you need because shipping sucks. i ordered an extra and put it in my console. also if youre replacing blinker lights too get a dim single LED, mine are way too bright but i never leave my blinker on.

If you use priority mail it is about 3.00 for shipping.
