I've been a longtime fan of the Nitecore BR25.
I use it when I expect to be riding at night or during dawn/dusk, so it's not on my bike all the time. But it performs exceptionally well and the light pattern is just awesome.
It has a piece that reflects light down onto you and your bike, so you're way more visible to others.
It also uses a removable, USB rechargeable 21700 battery.
I do wish it had longer battery life (I always wish that my stuff had longer battery life!), but it's still quite good unless you plan to blast it on high for hours on end.
My second favorite is the Olight RN1500, which uses a fixed (Garmin) mount and works great, but has a non-removable battery.
