Pretty much any IR LED will do, theres not much to choose between them - 
the viewing angles and suggested current may be different (bigger current 
== brighter) but they should all work, and if the LED is going to be stuck 
directly onto the front of your decoder box or something then brightness 
isn't such an issue anyway.
