We call those legacy product now. You can use drop in led bulbs and I think its the way to go but it comes down to cost. Led wafers are very cheap and quick to install. Basiv Led reccessed cans are ic rated without sockets. I see more integrated led in my professional life everyday.

Could you go into more detail? I work at a hardware store and I'd love to be able to give better advice to my customers.

No way I'm installing built-in bulb fixtures on my 70 year old homes wiring. I want to mess with it as little as possible.
