LEDs are brighter and more durable, the one thing is that you have to aim them at the ground, whereas neons give light off in any direction, which is convenient. Cathodes ftw! (check out www.oznium.com for more info on cold cathodes)

the only problem i could see with cathodes is hiding/mounting the transformer for every set of cathodes, but ist a small price to pay for BRIGHT light in all directions

One thing you might consider are LED Strips. Kinda the best of both worlds. You can bend and form the strips into whatever shape you want (within reason).

I agree, these are pretty neat.
