LED lighting technology has developed to the point that it can overcome most of the drawbacks of the technologies previously listed here.

Lighting quality is the best choice in terms of color rendering, color temperature and lumen output (compared to wattage used).
They have a much lengthier lifetime which means that the lights need to be replaced less often than other types. This is particularly important when it comes to high bay lighting in large areas which requires lifts or scaffolding to reach the fixtures.
Although LED lighting is more costly at the outset upon point of purchase, costs are more than made up over the long term due to the fact that they utilize much less energy than conventional lights. 

This saves on utility costs over time. They also don't waste energy emitted as heat. Finally, the other types of lights listed above are omnidirectional, which means that they produce a 360 degree output. 

With linear LED high bay lighting, the light needs to be directed down and out towards the floor. Much of this is squandered or needs to be directed using a reflector. 

LED linear high bays have a more focused light beam which means that nothing is wasted.
