>>1386858As most people have said here, figure out what battery and form factor you like, and as long as you pick from the common brands, you can't go that wrong. Every brand has one or more variations of the same format light, and for the most part which one you pick is not who makes it, but the particular features, like built in charging, tail standing, switch interface, ect...
Fenix, Nitecore, Thrunite, Olight, Zebralight, Klarus, Jetbeam, Armyteck, ect... And I recently got a Lumtop that I'm very impressed with for the price.
I recommend a 1x18650 with built in charging. That way it is easy to upgrade the battery (common format) and you don't need to get a charger. Typically this generation of slim 1x18650 lights are around 1,000-1,3000 lumens, on the floody side (if you want throw you need a larger reflector), and range from $40-$100 depending on brand and features.
