Charger wise, xtar do some cheap/decent chargers as well as the opus btc100(this can charge 4.35v). If you buy standard(naked) 16650 cells, so not wrapped by keepPower etc etc(protected), then you can charge them to 4.35v and squeeze a bit more run time out.
Malkoff speak for them selves, another good value alternative would be sportac(triple). Have a look on illumination gear, have some nice 219b and 219c 4000k triple options. I prefer the 2 mode (20%/100%)over the single mode drop ins(100%), simply because the 20% is ample for most tasks at around 160-180lm. The triples are like a large hot spot, so floody biased with moderate reach. Topped with 3x nichia's makes for a nice useful hi cri beam for under $40.
Also(works well on the 219c 4000k but not so well on my 219b triple) you can pop out the optics and have a mule(just a little wall of flood light)
