I've never had Xenons and was a bit disappointed with the stock lamps in my Viggen. I started buying Sylvania SilverStars at $20/lamp and the difference was amazing and MUCH cheaper than Xenons, though probably still not as bright as Xenons. So far I'm getting an average lifespan of about 4 months out of these bulbs which is adequate (IMO) for the enhanced visibility they provide. My point is you could probably go with the standard halogens and upgrade to a better bulb to get better performance without the cost.
You might want to check out the prices to replace Xenon lamps before making your decision as well.
