I've used Niterider for ages and have always like them. The 6 volt systems are bright and relatively inexpensive. I'd shy away from the digitals however since they seem to have lots of problems. I got an old classic 12 volt system last year at a swap meet and was very impressed with the brightness and length of burn on the lights.
Personally, I prefer lights without much more than an on/off switch since a simple system is less likely to fail in the middle of the night. If you are willing to do a little DIY you can overvolt all of these systems to make them a little bit brighter.
I am thinking about replacing my cobbled together system with a new Jet system. All the HID systems look good but just the replacement bulb is horribly expensive!
