Rear light recommendations please!

I've been using the $5 Nashbar Blinkies (http://www.nashbar.com/results.cfm?c...ry%3A%20Lights) for a couple years and they're surprisingly good. The problem is that the mounts suck and they will eventually break or bounce off when riding over a bump.

I've decided that I'm being penny-wise, pound-foolish to use these... and I want to find a more durable tail light. I need something that will attach securely to the back of a rear rack. And cheaper is better. Nashbar and Performance have absolutely nothing that fits the bill, quite disappointing.

What do you all use?

PS- What's the deal with the racks that include "rear light mounting brackets"? (like this one: http://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?c...cat%3A%20Racks) Do they actually make it any easier to reliably attach a normal clip-on/clamp-on type tail light?
