You might want to look at the Kingbright super flux line.  Mouser has
the L7676CSEC/H for about .57 in thousands.  It has a 70 degree viewing
angle and about 350 mcd @ 20mA.

BTW, what type of batteries are you going to be using?  How long are
these LEDs going to be on at a crack?

It will probably boil down to money. You can do pretty well for
0.50-1.00 US per LED in that quantity, in various colors, but you might
not like the cost.
