I would recommend this. The driver isn't great, but it has IR remote control and since the RGB LEDs are attached to a adhesive strip its easy to work with.  It is a great pain to solder 100 RGB LEDs with 4 pins each.  This Infinity Mirror  was only 40 RGB LEDs and its not fun.

I have used it on a few projects, usually make my own driver for it though.
