Do you want Hi Mode or low mode to come on with first click (is your main Priority as a defensive/offensive light or an EDC light you'll use around the house at night)?
Surefire eb1 if the former, e1l if the latter.
If you could care less and want it bright as ****, eb1.
I would also encourage you to look at the Hds EDC and tactical line - also single cell and highly customizable if you want to get fancy.

I like my stream light 1L. The battery life isn't excellent on high but on low it isn't bad. Its plenty bright for most things on low (but I use it when working under trucks). I don't use the holster it came with, I just put it in my pocket.

I have both the streamlight and 5.11 one and two cell units and none of those have failed me. The streamlights have a bit tighter of a beams, but the 5.11 models are great for smaller rooms with their greater spill but being less bright.
After looking over all the suggestions posted here I think I'm back to SF.
The HDS lights look nice but I don't care for what looks to be a sharp crenelated bezel or a strobe function.
Malkoff single cell lights seem to be OOS, but look like an option.
I think the SF EB1 is what I'm looking for.
One question RE: the EB1 tailcap...
Do you guys prefer the shrouded or tactical tailcap?
ETA: They also offer an un-shrouded clicky.

surefire EB1.
Different strokes... I like shrouded - less chance of accidental on and can tailstand.
