Odd, I've had a regular indoor CFL (because that's what I had handy)
in my front porch for over a year and it's still going. I expected it
to fail but it hasn't yet. I think I have only replaced one CFL, ever
(installed at bottom of basement steps; might have been bumped by
moving stuff around)

Welcome to my world. I bought into the be-green-use-CFL hype, and ended up
spending a lot of money on CFL bulbs that for the most part don't last a
year. Yes, they have warranties. I don't bother with them though - it's not
worth the trouble and I don't want another crap bulb that will burn out in
10 months.

Like you, I'd like to *know what brand of bulbs actually last the 5-10 years
they are supposed to last.

I just had the third one of the CFL's (compact flourescent lights) go
bad within about a year... *Wondering if one brand of CFL bulbs are
better than others?? *The old incandescent bulbs last way longer it
seems...
