Personally, HID. Only because HID look better in a Mustang than projectors. Just my opinion, which could be a little bias considering I have HIDs.

Fortunetly they came stock on my 08. I've heard it can be a pain in the ***. But, I'm not very car savvy at all.

both, if you want the best light possible, you'd would put HID in a projector. The reflector headlights you have arent designed for HIDs and dont have the shielding or design required. Do not just put HIDs in the stock headlight...they are illegal. I havent seen one aftermarker HID kit that has the correct bulb. They all use D2S (procector housing) bulb and shoud be using D2R (reflector housing).
