I prefer a stout pocket clip. I picked a light that was small enough to fit in my front pants pocket yet large enough to also use as an improvised impact tool (PT2L).
I have this same light and it is my favorite; use it at work - but it is awesome for camping (if you need to see or find something).My EDC light is a Streamlight Polytac.
I would like to see which models people use the most. I would like to buy a good light but I cant justify 100 bucks on something Im not sure is gonna be much better then the 5 dollar knock off I bought at the INDY 1500 2 years ago.

Like Sylvain said, you don't need to go $100. But do yourself a favor and drop $40-$50 on a Fenix or Streamlight or Quark.
You'll never use a $5 light again. It really is that much better. All these guys aren't just nuts, I used to think so too. but a light that's useful and tough and doesn't fail you you LIGHTS what you want it to....it's a great thing.
Hell, spend $20 on this: Amazon.com: Fenix E05 R2 Flashlight: Sports & Outdoors
small enough for a keyring, and lights a room DARN NEAR as well as a 3 cell maglight. On 1 AAA battery.
You dont need to spend 100 dollars on a light, but if you do it sure will be far better than any light you can get for 5 dollars.
I just EDC a $50-$60 flashlight, waterproof, shockproof, not too bright if you dont need lots of light (10 lumens) but also has a high mode if you need more light (250 lumens), and a few other modes, runs on cheap AA batteries easy to find anywhere, slim enough to fit in the pocket.
