6P bored for 18650, Overready zero resistance tailcap, Malkoff M60, Run with 18650 cell for the added run time.
M2 + DX Q2-5A, this module is a little longer than the other DX drop ins and hence lends itself better to the M2 bezel, Run with various 16340 sized cells
G2 + 15W LA, Run with various 16340 Li-Io cells

I see mostly Malkoff and Nailbender mentioned here. I can understand why, but what's the verdict on "lesser" but more readily available modules such as Solarforce and Thrunite? Worth using them in Surefire hosts?

Worth it sure good value fir the price but with NB being fairly cheap I don't see the reason.

My host/P60 combos
Bored C2 with M61HCRI with LX2 clip
Bored C2 with Nailbender XML warm 3 level
Solarforce L2P with Nailbender XML cool 2 level
E1E with VME head/M61HCRILL and E1B clip

I really like the Malkoffs and the High CRI. Thinking about getting another one. I really do recommend a Malkoff it's the best and I do like NBs as well really get a lot for your money.

Two E2e with single mode and triple mode Veleno towers.
One E1e with a triple mode Veleno.
G2 yellow with P60L.
9P with Thrunite single mode XP-G R5 9v.

IMHO the Velenos were the best investment because they added something to my old lights which, at the time, I couldn't get anywhere else. Saved my beloved E series from the Drawer of Lost Souls.
