If you have the money seriously consider the Serfas Shield, it's not unreasonably priced and it's very bright with a flood type of beam instead of a pinpoint narrow beam. Here is a beam comparison of the 4 most popular rear lights:

The Light & Motion VIS180 full size light cost about $89, whereas the Serfas Shield is about $60, and the Cygolite HotShot is about $35; do an Amazon search for prices on those if they interest you.
