Well, I decided to go with the used / refurbed GoPro Hero+ with the LCD screen. It's not the fanciest camera out there, but for the "simple" recording I do (basically just ride videos), 1080p is fine. The seller provides a 90 day warranty, but if it should happen to die on day 91, I'm only out $35 plus tax. Once it arrives, I can start posting some new videos to my YT channel (it's been awhile since I've done so, but for health reasons, not because of the battery issue).
