i would go with the survivor because of its proven reliability. sure you can go with the lighthawk, which by the way i am getting, but i didnt think that was the point of this thread. if you want a light with great reliability and optics along with right angle for hands free operation then you want the survivor. also i would look at the local public safety store where you get your turn out gear and get a sew on holder with velcro straps on it. its made for right angle lights and keeps them from moving around too much like if you just clipped it on your air pack.
