Get something OEM-equivalent, DEPO black housing headlights are a popular option. Most brands should be similar enough if you stick to OEM-style, but DEPO is the only brand I personally have experience with.
Pros: popular option, OEM-style

Oem is the best option, you can find deals on eBay or online sometimes, second best is depo aftermarket brand replacement headlights, not as good quality but the price is right.
Pros: price is right
Cons: not as good quality
The Depos came with H4/H1 and I upgraded to LED. The new reflector design is much better than factory and give it a fresh look. They would be "ok" with H bulbs but the LEDs def throw better light.
Pros: improved reflector design, fresh aesthetic, better LED light output
I got a pair of DEPO OEM-style lights which look and fit the same and have the leveling motors. I notice that some light shines out the side of the assembly. I can see the HID capsule, located between a parabolic mirror and the projector lens, by looking through the side of the headlight at a specific angle. The light leakage through the same path illuminates a vertical strip of bushes and trees off each of the car. The beam pattern seems a bit different with these, more of a step-up versus what I thought was a straight horizontal cut-off previously. Otherwise the fit and finish seem fine on the DEPO lamps.
Pros: fit and finish seem fine
Cons: light shines out the side

DEPO is pretty much the most popular aftermarket brands. Kinda pricey, but I’ve had mine on my car for 2 years, and I have no idea how long they had been on before then. I cracked one of the covers and was able to order a replacement for less than $50.
Pros: popular brand, replacement available
Cons: kinda pricey
Definitely Depo. Well known brand, they fit perfectly and are made for cars equipped with the halogens standard. They also look exactly like OEM.
Pros: fit perfectly, look OEM
I bought a used pair of almost new Depo 9-3 2003-2008 headlights, nice beam pattern and performance.
Pros: nice beam pattern, good performance

I have DEPO headlights. They look pretty much OE, but I won't necessarily recommend them. The fitting of the bulbs is cheap and not so reliable. Plus, if high beam goes out, you need to get the bumper out.
Pros: look pretty much OE
Cons: cheap fitting, not reliable
I'm happy with my Depo ones, but have only had them installed for like 4 or 5 months.
Pros: happy with performance
Cons: recently installed
Vehicle:
Ford Fiesta
Depo at $140 each are excellent quality for the money!
Pros: excellent quality for money
