Does it make a significant difference for our application? I am honestly not sure, but that was our thinking behind using a green LED last season.

The reason camera's emphasize green is because the manufacturer is trying to mimic the human eye's sensitivity. Knowing this means green takes less light to reproduce the same signal. Does that make it "best" or "better"? That is debatable.
Again, if you properly calibrate your camera and vision processing, any color is fine. So, just use what you are comfortable with.
