Robot RGB LEDs

Just a general question, what types / brands of RGB lights does you team use for underglow / robot glow? We tried using 5050 rgbs this year, but had a lot of trouble with soldering due to the fact that the terminal pads on the cut-strips were really thin and broke off too easily (and we would get things that would go wrong and the color would change halfway through the strip or randomly in the middle on one unit).

I want to get some LEDs running (preferably off the roboRIO or an Arduino), so if anyone has any suggestions on what types to get for this purpose, I would be greatful
