I don't mind spending a little cash on a good one. I want the best all around light I can find.

Thanks for your input!

Fenix HL30 AA

Meets your requirements and also has easy to manage buttons with bulky gloves on.
Great battery life, probably because it works so well on Low.
You can ditch the over the top strap.


This. After a bunch of research I pulled the trigger and couldn't be happier. Low setting will last for hours. Brightest setting will shine a 100 yards or so. Red light works well too. I'd buy another in a heart beat.
