I'm going to switch my brake lights, cargo light, turn signals and backup lights to LEDs.

I don't want to spend to much but I don't want crap either. Is there a decent middle ground? I need all lights to be as bright or brighter than stock. For the backup lights I want super bright. I've heard my blinkers will blink super fast whats the best way to fix this? Electronic flasher or load resistors?
 
Get an electronic flasher. Resisters just build up heat and are a hazard. For backup lights I used JDM Astar and they are super bright. JDM with taillights too. Middle ground price. You won't be happy with cheaper stuff believe me I've tried them!
 
Sylvania makes decent LED lights at a fair price. They won't be brighter than stock they are made to be at street legal light limits but they are reliable LEDs. Get an electronic flasher, that's what I use on one of my trucks.
 
Here's what you do to find out which LEDS offer the best bang for the buck. Instead of reading the lumens rating, go by the chips on them. Many companies lie about the lumens. Look at www.amazon.com listings and most will say what LED chips they use and how many. Then look up the real lumens here:

There are a lot of decently priced very bright LED bulbs in the $15-$20 range on Amazon, that's how I picked mine.
