We use PAR floods, so I can't help with a make/model.
But...
When it was time for us to switch to LED's, there were so many choices (as Dave states). Physical Plant brought over a sample, but the color temperature was wrong, and they didn't dim right. So, rather than experiment with different products, trying to find the closest match, I simply called the manufacturer of the incandescent bulb and asked them to give me the part number of their LED equivalent. I got my answer in about 5 minutes.
I had never considered a compatibility issue with the dimmer system, but, fortunately, the new LED product worked just fine. If I found myself struggling with a compatibility issue, I suppose my next step would be to contact the maker of the dimming system and see if they had perhaps established a list of compatible LED bulbs. If not, then I'd check back with the manufacturer and provide more detail about the system.
So, although I don't have a direct answer, hopefully this thought process might lead you to a bulb that works well.
