I'm having my bathrooms done up and will be having a load of wall niches, I'll need lighting for some of them and not sure whether to go for LED strips or LED spotlights
Example 1 Ensuite
Example 2 Long niche above bathroom

These are the two main examples I'd need lighting and personally I think using LED strips would be better but I'm not sure how bothersome the wiring will be. I'd want all ceiling lights and these niches to be lit with one switch.

What would you recommend? Part of me thinks getting small spotlights might actually be nicer than having strips.
 
We are currently having our bathroom done with niches around the bath and shower similar to your examples and we opted for spot lights.

We have these on a separate switch to the main ceiling spot lights though, which we believe will work well if we want to relax in the bath or go to the toilet at night and not use the main light.
I've considered that but not sure what layout I'd like.
One was to have the wall niches and only the spot above the shower turn on, so the rest will be unlit and the lit areas will be dim
 
It'll look great and can be replaced easily enough. Just make sure the LED driver/drivers are in an accessible location should they die.
I'll need to speak to the builder and see what he recommends with making the drivers in an accessible location. That is my biggest worry about the whole thing
