I've tried and used a number of them.  I see from a quick check of the Web
that the fancy ones have gotten a lot fancier.

What I can contribute is that one of the smallest I've used, which also
happens to be one of the brightest, was available hanging on the rack at
County Store.  (Dunno where you are, but it might help someone.)

The little one is always in the pocket, and is great for peering inside
a box to see DIP switches and that kind of thing, especially since you
never have to be without it.
