I am a long time headlamp user and use them for caving, climbing, camping as well as general outdoors use.
What i I am looking for is excellent water resistance IPX8 and above, powerful rechargeable battery with option to field replace inside a cave, flood as well as beam options, option to mount on a helmet as well as headband, multiple brightness settings without the need to program.
I love the Princeton Tex Apex however I am now on my 3rd one with the previous 2 having died in wet caves... the current one is used mostly for camping or kept inside my cave bag as a back up light, sealed in an Otter Box.
my best/favourite light is a Stenlight S7 as it is virtually indestructible with a machined aluminum block housing. The newer S7+ have better LEDs. I have the accessory kit which allows me to swap out the LIon battery with 4 AAs but it is not a good in cave option. This one has been submerged for long periods and withstood the most challenging wet and muddy caves without a hiccup.
