Do you use LPMs for your LFSRs?

I want to implement an LFSR as a means of generating random numbers but I'm not sure whether to use an LPM or just code it in a process. I would be interested to hear how you choose to implement them...

Apologies for some confusion I caused about the two forms of lfsr. There are two equivalent types(Fibonacci and Galois). I was thinking only of Fibonacci type with taps feeding back onto first stage.
