I just put up a couple of my spare lights for sale if you are interested. So far my favorite light is the Trail Torch 3000. Ridiculously bright and a huge flood with no hots spots. For self contained lights, I like the cateye 800.
Whatever you get, the helmet mount is the way to go, then supplement with a handlebar mount if you want more light.
Helmet mount will always shine where you are looking, but can wash out trail detail. The handlebar mount helps bring back the detail/shadows you need, but isn't always point were you need it

Must commend you on your handle, Dream Theater fan?
along with what kind, where they go is important.
common setup is a light on the handlebar with a diffuser (or wide beam), and one on the helmet as a spot light.

Yep. btw to your original question, I used a dinotte XML-3 headlight on my bars and a L&M urban 700 on my helmet.

I have a niterider pro 1200 on my helmet and a light in motion urban 650 on my bars as backup / added firepower when needed. Leave no stone unlit.
I like the idea of having a backup light and as mentioned above something on your helmet is key. noises around you get spooky when you can't look in that direction and light it up.

Yeah I've found that using the helmet light to shine on the ghosts that are stalking you tends to scare them off
