They are getting better. I now only fit LED (unless the spec says
different).

I'd hope they are. But in this case with an existing fitting, I'd bet a
decent electronic ballast and tube will last longer. Added benefit is you
already know how much light it gives (and the quality of that light),
unlike with LEDs where you have to guess until you've fitted them.
