Trying to choose a bike light for commuting

I've been looking around for a good bike light for commuting, and possibly some casual MTBing. I have a cheapo halogen light that mainly works either to be seen (when pointed up), or to see the road in front of me (pointed down). But it doesn't do both, and the light output is pretty dismal...it's mainly to keep me from getting squished! So, if you have had some experience with any of these lights or have suggestions, I'd very much appreciate your input. Thanks!

Requirements:
Price - < $150
Mount - Handlebar, preferrably comes with a helmet mount as well
Light Type - LED preferred
Battery Type - doesn't matter, but lighter is better
Build Quality - I know I'm coming in a bit low for a quality manufacturer, but I'm still concerned with it working well and for a couple of years.

Some candidates I've found:
