My own attempts with ring-LED let me stay away from them. I'm sure there are good ones but I had an Aputure and was not able to bring all LEDs together to an even light surface. I could identify the single LEDs and found that distracting.
In portraits, I'm also no big fand of "another ring in the eye"- personal taste, I guess, but also a big obstacle in communciation between me and the model. There's one nice addition from Orbis to a common flash:

But that's a circle of 44 cm behind I'd be hiding. Never tried it, though, maybe it's better than I expect. It's just not the way I prefer to stay in contact with the person in front of my camera.
