500+ light choices... which actually get used? Your input?

[GoSmitty]

Back from the dead...
So, as a NooB, I found this thread very interesting and, though I only have a few lights to choose from (so far), I thought I'd offer my very discounted 2¢:

EDC Formal: iTP A3 EOS on my keychain. (Copper Maratac AAA on its way to replace it, though)
EDC Casual: iTP A3 EOS on my keychain. In the very near future I hope to add a Ti and Carbon Fiber Eye 10 to my personal EDC...assuming I can get 3 posts accepted on CPFMP!
EDC Travel: iTP A3 EOS on my keychain.
Water Use: I'll fall off that bridge when I come to it...
Bedside: Fenix PD35 (hanging from the shoulder strap of my BOB)
Automobile: 2AA Mini Maglite with generic LED drop in and thumb switch
Backyard Spotting: Fenix PD35
Nightime Walking: Costco iLight rechargeable LED
Household Use: Costco iLight rechargeable LED
Garage: Costco iLight rechargeable LED
Bug-Out Bag (BOB): Fenix PD35
There can be only one! (custom): Well, I'm still fairly new here, but from the exploring I've done so far, I really like McGizmo's stuff.
There can be only one! (stock): I'm leaning toward the Eiger family.
Most recommended to non-flashaholics: I really have enjoyed having that little iTP hanging off my keychain, and can gladly recommend anybody drop a 10-spot on Amazon to have one shipped to their door.

Thanks for welcoming me to the group.
