Having a tail light that can be turned on anytime is worthwhile.
That's what we put on our tandem, but it's just not enough light for deserted forest roads at night. Maybe we're just getting too old to see, but we want more light.

if i had to pick one setup: the sondelux hub and supernova symmetrical (round) beam for truly dark riding outside of cities, Edelux for city riding where there is some ambient background light.
To save money, id look at the cheaper hubs, or preferably find a used son28 hub when someone upgrades to sondelux.
The most important part of the investment is the lights, spend on those first.
We're thinking of changing over to the Supernova e3 sometime this year. I'll consider your endorsement as confirmation of my bias. I think their new brighter tail lights become available next month, at least that's what Linda told me at Peter White Bicycles.
