Dome for outdoors are not recommended due to rain drops distorting the lens and sun glare fading the dome overtime (i.e. Car headlight plastics)
Turrets are recommended rather than bullet due to spiders like bullets a lot more than turrets for one ;)

The models in "Cameras Outdoor" and "Cameras Indoor" links in the second post are good, IMO. They're Dahua Starlight models, where are highly recommended because their image quality in low-light is about the best you can get for the price. Dahua makes Starlights in a bunch of different form-factors. Poke around in the Dahua sub-forum here and you should see threads with "REVIEW" in their name that have a lot of good info.

This link has a bunch of good info from various threads compiled into one document:
