Please search, it has been discussed many times.
High Beam = 9005
Low beam = 9006
Silverstars are just about the only bulb that is commonly available that is an upgrade. Everything else is a significant decrease in light output.
From HIDforum:
And PIAA is the top of the line ricer bulb. Anything else hyperwhite will even be less light than the PIAA.
And don't even ask about HID kits because they all = crap.

From HIDforum:
For the 55W marked segment, sorted in order of brightness:
+50%: Philips Vision Plus (achieves its extra performance by increased luminance, not lumens. See this article: http://www.eur.lighting.philips.com/...tsVision.shtml
+30%: Philips Premium, Osram Silverstar (European marked only - see note below)
+20%: Osram/Sylvania Xtra Vision, Osram/Sylvania Silverstar (North american market only - see note below)
+0%: Philips Bluevison, Osram/Sylvania Cool Blue, Osram/Sylvania Halogen Plus, and OEM bulbs like GE.
-10%: PIAA Superwite
