Mike,
As a former user of Silverstar bulbs, I can honestly say the 9005 bulb modification is the best and least expensive way to increase the light output on our 9000s. Going with the 9005 bulb, there are 1700 lumens available vs. the 9006 bulb at 1000 lumens, a 70% increase. The Silverstars don't even come close. Never had a problem with blinding oncoming traffic with the modification. The 9005 bulb mods works best with the Xtravision bulbs which are already optimized for best light output over standard bulbs. That is what I use and have been very satisfied over the last three years.
