Why use transistors anyways??? MOSFET have more benefits.

IRF540, IRF640, IRFZ44, RFP50N06, IRFB41N15D, HUF75339P3, RFP40N10, IRFB41N15... are the first that spring to mind.

Transistors .. well i forgot many but... TIP3055, 2N3055 :EEK: , MJ15015, MJ15025 some are way overkill and not appropriate anyways
