I would use the the 3xAA m@g LED as a backup to my primary and secondary, but definately not as a primary. I for one would prefer to light up the shadow I just saw move from afar than to have to get close to use my light.
As for lithium powered lights, I would use those as backups too as I don't intend on having to using them and the long shelf life of lithiums adds some insurance that it will work when I finally do need it. But I definately prefer both my primary and secondary to use the same type of rechargeable cells, as I would use those 99% of the time. Oh and I do carry two extra set of 18650's on my person for the times I do need more runtime.
