Your best bet with d-cells is a mag with a drop in. On the low end check out the terralux dropins. Here is a list of your drop in choices:

As far as lanterns I have a coleman led lantern which I like and I saw this one which I dont own but looks nice too:

the one thing with these lanterns is they are often too bright to look at directly, so I've found covering them with a thin plastic grocery bag often works really well.

if you like the coleman lamps, make sure you go through their family store with the password "family" for the best deals.
