I'm starting to favor the 12V also just for the upgradability and quality parts. My pet peeve is bike accessories. They're usually poorly thought out, and don't hold up under the KELLEY stress test. Most everyone on here probably has their own "stress test". Mine is...
KELLEY stress test = commuting 25m/day*3days a week in rain. Potholes included.
