The types that supposedly hold the flashlight barrel with just tension from a U-shaped block of rubber don't seem reliable, based on my observations in local group rides. I've seen those things pop loose several times on rough stuff. Get a strap that wraps around the flashlight barrel and handlebar for security.
To add on to this- My wife and I have used the Two Fish flashlight holders for years and they are very good! Eventually the plastic piece on the strap will break (after a lot of use) but you can find replacement velcro straps. The mounts are inexpensive, low profile, and secure. We have a Convoy S2 flashlight currently. We use the three modes setting- low, medium, and high. Plenty of light, completely waterproof, and takes 18650 rechargeables. All very compact and lightweight. I would highly recommend the Two Fish mount and high powered flashlight of your choice.
