Also, would you prefer a floody light or a throwy light for camp setup? I'm thinking a floody light might make the most sense.
Exactly.
One thing I like about most of the newer headlamps is that they have the option for both. The black diamond cosmo and storm in particular have the high output main light for throw and lower output leds for close in flood. They also have red leds to preserve night vision and can be turned on separately without having to cycle through the higher output settings.
The headlights I like the most work exactly this way.
