I don't care for dedicated headlamps. I prefer the headstraps like the Nite-Ize mentioned above. Instead of the Nite-Ize, I have the Jakstrap which I use with my Princeton Tec Attitude. You can also get the Jakstrap II for larger flashlights. The nice thing about the Jakstrap is that it has two elastic holders, one positioned straight-ahead and one positioned about 45 degrees down; the former is good for walking and the latter is good for reading. The Jakstrap is very comfortable and lightweight. The name is pretty crass, though.

In my Camelbak I replaced my Petzl Zipka Plus with a Petzl Tikka XP. For EDC I have a AA Infinity Ultra (25 hours - full brightness) with a clip in my pocket. I can clip it to the brim of my cap and use it like a headlamp. If I need real throw/distance I use my SureFire C2 that I keep clipped to my belt. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Tikka XP. or Tikka plus depending on circumstances. Light, reliable and dialable power setting. Myo megabelt if cold is an issue. Petzl are much better than anyone else, but any headtorch is better than nothing. One point I will make is than you should never travel at night (unless you know the ground or are on hardstanding), unless of course staying put will get you injured or killed.
