5.good side illumination.
6. charging inlet on the side, top or bottom so i wont have to get it off the bike to charge because the charging is from the back where it attaches to the seat post or rear rack.
does such a thing exist? tell about your favorite tail light.
I've used Cygolite Hotshots since December 2011 and have yet to lose one clipped to a pannier for commuting or jersey pocket for recreational rides. Side illumination is decent and the mini USB plug is on the bottom. The spare I got in December 2014 has better firmware which flashes a couple times when it's turned on or off with a low battery which makes it hard to run out.
They include seatpost and seatstay mounts and sell a rack mount. I have no idea about helmet mounting.
The old one is bright for night use at 30 lumens although I'd prefer more during the day.
The new pro 80 should be much better for daylight use.
