best undercabinet lighting need advice

I appologize if this subject has already been covered!

I'm looking for the best and the brightest undercabinet lighting for my kitchen. THe lights will go under 3 24" cabinets (each separated by a stretch of 36" sink or stove) There is NO direct task light on these counters, only recessed in the walkway in front of the cabinets.

I want to know should I get xenon or halogen. In my previous kitchen I had xenon by Kitchler and I found these to be very hot (read recently that xenon isn't hot-not my expereince!)

the lights will be hard wired in and I could add a dimmer.

Any advice would be helpful. Also include any info you have to lumens. I have the lumens of the bulbs, but since I don't know the angle of the bulb spread it is hard to determine how much reaches the counter and what the spread is, especially when you have 3 bulbs!! Help
