My recommendations:
-LED only, period, only way to go
-I have 2 fenix, 2 surefire; I recommend surefire if you can afford it. I believe they are quite noticeably superior when you get to hold/use the two and are able to compare. My fenixs' both have variable lighting but both have had electrical problems in that they sometimes strobe when they aren't supposed to be. I think they're an okay light but the surefire's are definitely in a different class. The tailcap switch on the surefires is much easier to push because it protrudes from the base versis the fenix which are more flush. The flush fit allows the fenix to stand on end like a candle but I think better control of the on/off is more important, especally if used in conjunction with a hand gun.
-I like a minimum 80 lumen. My Fenix lights are not as bright as my surefire lights even thought they're rated that same as far as lumens. Too long to go into here but not everyone measures lumen's the same and I think some folks fudge a little to make the light sound more impressive than it is.
Surefire makes a single CR123 battery light that I think is perfect for everyday running around; because it's LED it'll last and it fits in the pocket easily; it's an ideal EDC.
For the difference in price between Fenix and surefire, I'd recommend you save the extra and go with a Surefire.
