Backup Reverse Lights PIAA W2 921 or V-LED 921
What do you guys think would be brighter and/or better? I don't wanna spend more than $20. I've looked around and found either the PIAA W2 extreme white mini-bulb's or the v-led 5000K LED's. See Links below and let me know what you think. Thanks!

I have these...

and they work wonders. It's the brightest reverse lights I've seen (besides HID ones). Its a bit more pricey than you would like but it's well worth your money.

I liked my V-LEDs---they were bright. But still not bright enough for me, so I installed HIDs. I have an older set of the v-leds for sale in the BM.
I think LEDs are generally unsuitable for this particular application. I found the light to be very bright as you look at it, but they did not seem to cast very much usable light when actually backing up. It seemed the OEM bulbs were better at throwing light out to the rear. And the HIDs are just sick! My $0.02.

it makes the center of the screen light up with white. the left and right edges are still pretty dark. but i noticed when you press the brake the brake lights light up the area that the JLC creed LED doesn't light up.
the creed led is more focused on one area since its only 1 led facing 1 direction. so on your navi when you back up you will just see alot of white in the center. still brighter than stock! just light dispersion is not as even as halogens. but its LED, what'd you expect.
i would still get the jlc reverse lights over any other leds

This explains it pretty well.
As far as pictures, the pictures on their website is pretty accurate. I know the owner of JLC and he got these LEDs patented and copyrighted and you probably won't see anyone else with his design.
