I've been using tin/lead so far, but in case repairs need to be done I'm thinking about moving to load-free. I'm not sure yet, because I need to wait a few weeks for my new solder paste to come in to see if it works.
The lower melting point of tin/lead makes it easier for home production, especially because of the easily burned leds.
