LEDs are a good idea, but be aware that many cheap LEDs have awful color. I've heard that these are good ones: http://www.polar-ray.com/LED-Under-Cabin..._c_55.html
Those look nice, but they are expensive. Given that the 12" fluorescent tubes are what, 8 watts? I doubt that there would ever be a payoff from installing those. But it would be nice to lose the hum.
Color rendition from the 12" fluorescents isn't great either. We compensate by using a mix of cool and warm white, with main lights being either incandescent or halogen floods.
