What kind of flashlight would you recommend for preflights?

AA LED Maglite will do the trick. $19. BTW, I think you're overthinking it.

Costco had a 3pack for $20
Bought them 3 years ago and all 3 still work great

I got 1 that has a laser built in .. Shine it on the wing and it helps detect cold soaked fuel frost/ ice

Become a captain and you don't need to do walk arounds.

I keep offering them my crewmeal but I guess it takes time to seal up the artery.

I have a Coleman LED; super bright and cost around $14 at
Wally World. Best part is the area around the lens is
serrated slightly. Good possible self defense thing if needed.

Agreed. I have two in my bag!

They even have a filter for red and blue light.....very bright and tiny enough with little extra weight.

You get attacked while doing the walk around often?

Well played, sir. I was referring to a cockpit breach/overly
aggressive pimps at the overnight hotels.

So I guess this will be overkill?

It's nearly half off. What a steal! You should buy it.

The Duracell 3 pack is still a Costco. Small, bright (250 lumens) and uses 3 AA. I picked up a surefire flashlight at Lowes for 70.00 because it uses Lithium batteries and I thought at 320 lumens I would see a big difference. But not really. The Duracel has a narrower beam. More expensive isn't always better and AA's are sold at the airport!
