This eventually lead to me dropping a headlight or two which eventually lead to them no longer working. The dyno lights seem to be more durable, but just because they stay with the bike... hard to steal and not affected by cold.

Except for that, a PB 2 watt with a Superflash rear light, using a good rechargeable battery like Sanyo Eneloops, is a good system.
I have dropped PB lights a number of times. The batteries and parts scattered over a wide area, and it was hard to find everything in the dark. But the lights always worked after I put them back together.
