What would be your choice of the two? The E12 takes AA batteries and the E15 takes CR123a batteries. Will Lithium batteries last a lot longer in the E12?

"What would be your choice of the two?"
E12 all the way. Yes, lithiums will last longer.
The runtime is longer in the modes you'll actually use, and you're unlikely to notice the lumen difference. You'll also have the option of using Ni-MH rechargeables, and easy to find alkalines if necessary.
I would say the E12 unless you are already carrying cr123 batteries in something else. I use a Steri Pen Opti and find that when it uses up the batteries they will go for a long time in my flashlight, essentially making them free.
E12 all the way. AA batteries are common everywear. Not all retailers carry the 123 and if they do they want a small fortune for them. I have the older I think it is the E11. Been carrying that in my pocket every day for the last 2 1/2 years. I work grave yard and drive a truck great for on the road.
