I guess it kind of depends what you have in mind, why you're changing and what type of shooting you intend to do...

I own 3-K frames, I replaced the factory sights on all of them with the MEPRO Tritium Nite sights 'mfg.d in Israel' this was back in 1980, the
manual says 'good for 10 years' but I've only had to replace the rear sight blade on 2 of them 'so far'. The third set up is still useable, not as
bright as factory-fresh, but I'm used to their sight picture after all these years so it's still 'acceptable' IMO.

In most cases, I'd go with fibre optic sights. They're relatively cheap, and work extremely well, in even moderate light.

I replaced the rear sight on my 686 with an adjustable Millet sight, I am pleased with the results.
