For the short walk into a stand I use a red lens flashlight. The red is a carry over from my army days as its what was used to preserve night vision back in the day. I mark the path in and out with bright eyes or the twist tie reflectors. For the short walk into/out of a stand I like a flash light because I can control the direction of the light and keep it pointed down so it doesn't flash all around.
For hiking a long ways where spooking game isn't an issue, A white light head lamp is my choice.
That is pretty much the way I do it as well.
