I think we might have discussed this before. Sorry, it just came back to me. The diodes Jim likes are still available from at least one supplier on Amazon, and they're not too expensive. They have a Trr of 200nS, much faster than the typical 30uS seen with diodes like the 1N4007. Suppression caps are probably still required though.
I guess we should count ourselves lucky that the Crees are still available in through-hole. Someday, they'll probably all be SMT only.
