Durability and run time are my main concern
Any suggestions?
SK-68
Maybe a Thrunite Ti for the AAA (on sale around $10 or so, not sure if there is a current promotion on them). Looks like they are $16 right now (or $19.99 shipped within US). The moonlight low or 3 lumen low would provide long runtimes (but is it enough light?).
Are you asking for single cell lights? Or multicell too?

Either single or multiple cell
Raising the price limit to $12 or $13 might yield some more answers. Under $10 is kind of tough, especially for AAA lights, now that the Ti has gone back closer to its original price.
Also, "durability and runtime" covers a broad range. Could you be more specific?

I don't one one, but if 10 lumens is enough, your best bet is probably the Fenix E01.

It's currently available (in the U.S.) in different colors on eBay for less than $13.
