I use the Cree light (bought off ebay for £16). It is very bright (I also bought a diffuser lens), has been totally reliable over the last 4 months and run time is over 3 and a half hours.
I got the one with 4 batteries in a pouch that (depending on bike), I either put in my saddle bag, attach to a bottle cage, hang from saddle rails or attach to stem.
I run with only that as a front light, with a small blinkie back up, and 4 back lights. (Cateye and Smart)
