    If 90% of your lamping is from a vehicle I would recommend the biggest non HID lightforce,on a good night I can see and identify sex, deer out to 8-900 yards in the open(in conjunction with good glass).
    HID are brighter and use less power but the colour is bad for picking animals from background (Identify target beyond all doubt) and some led are really bad for picking out eyes great but cant pick the animals body from the background.

    The Maxtoch dedomed work very very well as a walk around option but best to talk to the likes of mudgrips and gadgetman as there is led and led and the colors can vari massively.

    led lenser were all the rage a few years back but they are very expensive and there color just does not work, picks up eyes for miles but cant see anything to shoot till very close.
