10-15w halogen recommendation

Since the days are getting shorter and evening rides are in the dusk/after nightfall, I was looking for a halogen light in the $100-$150 range. The roads are mostly suburban with some well-lit stretches, some unlit paved roads and unlit bike paths. After some searching in the forum and googling, I have "narrowed" my choices to the following:

- Jet lites i6 (15w): $165. Seems to get very good reviews at mtbr.com, but getting a perfect 5.0/5.0 on nearly all their models and their banner ads in the review pages make me a bit wary.
- L&M Solo (13w): Around $100 for the low-end model. General feedback seems to be that these are well made and supported.
- Niterider Trail Rat 2 (10w): I can get this for around $80 from a friendly LBS. Should be a good model from what I have read, but does not seem to rate as highly as the two above. It may also be a bit heavier.
- Sigma Sport Evo + Evo X Pro (15w): Around $85. Seems to be a good one, but I cannot find too many reviews re: quality
- Planet Bike Alias Sport (15w): Around $100. Good reviews on mtbr.com. Not much in the forum re: these.

Any thoughts on which one would be the best based on personal experience or anecdotal evidence, etc? Thanks in advance.
