The past 3 times I used 9-10 watt CFL bulbs. Would I be better off using a different type of bulb? I heard about led bulbs which cost more, but in reading led bulbs need ventilation.
Any GOOD ADVICE?

We were in the same boat!
I replaced my incandescent bulb up north with an led. I got it at either Home Depot or Loews on sale for around $10. It's the equivalent to a 60 watt bulb.
Our other bulbs only lasted 4-6 months. The led has been in 2 1/2 years. There is plenty of ventilation in mine as the bottom of the fixture has 3 openings.
