Brand- More McGizmos (6) at the moment than anything else, though Zebralights are running a close second.

Battery- AW's RCR's, Eneloops. Primaries in a pinch, they are more for preparedness than day to day use here.

Type- Mainly 123's, some AA's and a 18650 or two. Keychain AAA's as well...

Brand: Surefire w/Malkoff drop ins = maximum reliability for emergency and tactical applications. I've have 10. I've also have a few HDS, Fenix, Zebra, Quarks, Leatherman and Photons that get more use. Multiple level lights are more paractical for EDC, camping, and other non-critical uses.

Battery Type: Lithium Primary. If I know I'm going to use a light or headlamp a lot, I'll put in some Enloops. Enloops are one of the main reasons I have AA lights.

Battery Size: 123 mostly, a few AA, a couple small AAA (L92), and 2016 for Photons.

Brand: None, my favourites are the ones I make and mod.

Batteries: NiHM, I like that they can handle high current draws (got aprox 350 lumens out of a Cree XML a few days ago with 1 AAA eneloop battery, think the driver was probably drawing nearly 2 amps and the eneloop stayed cool).

Battery size: AA, great for small lights and have decent capacity, and you can fit loads of them in a maglite for high output mods.

That's like asking which one of my kids I like the best. I love them all.

I love my Surefires, all of them. I don't really have any overlapping lights. Each one has it's niche and performs flawlessly.
Malkoff and Nailbender drop ins also make the cut as favorites.

Brand - Liteflux although I only have 2 the 5XT and 3XT... still kicking myself about not getting a 2XT until I missed the boat

Battery - None. Right fuel for the conditions and usage

Battery Size - AA/14500 - Single cell form factor seems to be an ergonomic sweet point for multiple uses for me. So many choices in how to fuel them too. With the right drivers the same light can be fed NiMh, NiCD, Lithium primary, Li-ion, and Alkaline.
