I have UKD4R. It has a 5W & 8W bulb, gives a good beam, especially in wrecks. The 8W is bright enough for me (but will eat the batteries quicker. It comes with a trickle charge and you do need to keep your torch charged up. I can get two dives on one charge if I use it sparingly, but it does need charging every night. I'd go for the UKD4 and buy rechargable batteries, then if you forget your charger (like I did one weekend) you can buy regular batteries instead, the D4R doesn't take regular batteries (not sure if you can get a housing for regulars to use in the D4R).
Whatever you go for, don't forget a backup light!
