Fenix for me.

Why?

Good selection of AA and AAA lights. Flashlights that use 123 Lithium or proprietary batteries are forbidden in my house. Too expensive and availability will always be iffy when compared to AA and AAA batteries. They work great with rechargeable batteries too.

Inexpensive, you can buy 2-3 Fenix lights for $150 yet they are very durable.

My personal favorites are the L2T and the LD10. (Though the LD20 looks nice too.) The LD10 is nice because as a single AA light you don't have to worry about pairing up batteries. If you happen to find an AA of unknown charge you can pop it in and have light. (Or have dark and you know to throw the battery.) Unlike a 2AA light where you have to play musical chairs to figure out which battery is the dead one if you lack a tester.
