For years I carried a G2 Nitrolon Surefire and a SOG EOD multi-tool in a 2 pistol magazine ammo pouch on my belt. They were there everyday. Neither ever let me down. The G2 still works to this day. 123 batteries aren't that hard to get through supply, they sell them at the PX. One thing I have never seen personally with the 123s is a leaky battery unlike the AA and AAA batteries which I have seen ruin stuff in the past, if you don't check them regularly.
Sure you can get fancier and more expensive lights, but I always felt if I broke or lost my $30 flashlight, I would be a whole lot less unhappy than if it was a $150 light. If I had to buy one today, I'd take a hard look at the LED model.
