I'd go with Salomon, soles are thinner than road shoes so you can 'feel' the ground more. Personally I think that's boll0cks but it certainly makes you less likely to twist your ankle.
I do a lot of night running, as I like to run off road and get home too late in winter. After a lot of messing around with head torches I came up with this:

And two of these (which also double as my MTB head torches)

Stupidly bright (500lm) I can just as fast as I can in daylight. Normally only have one on at a time (still lots of light), which means that on full I can run for two hours or so. If I wanted to do longer I could run them at half which would still be fine. They also have a pretty mental strobe function which I use on the road, just point one back wards in the hand band.
Probably almost twice as bright as a hope adventure 1, each torch only weighs 100g ish if that, and the head band makes it very balanced with non of the bobbing you get with a head torch.
