1) I don't care what how the light looks.

In an unfinished basement, unfinished light works best.

2) I don't care about the absurdly long warm-up. Much.

The last CFLs I bought have no warm-up time at all that I can see.
Bought in the last year.

I bought the house a year ago and bought the CFLs after that. They
all have the warm-up problem. It's a real PITA in the Winter.

I think mine were from home depot and were less than $2 each. I can
go look at the label if you want.

3) The lights may stay on for more than an hour a day so there might
be some energy to save.
4) Haven't gotten the T8s wired in yet.
