Have both.
The problem with a weapon-mounted light as your only source of illumination is that you're pointing your gun at whatever you are illuminating, whether that is a bad guy, your wife, your dog, or your child. I have a light mounted on my Ruger Mini-14 but it is NOT my only light source.

Weapon light and stand alone in one...
Not so. With proper equipment and training it is completely possible and practical to search for, illuminate, and identify your target without aiming at the target.
This gun counter myth is in the same category of the "the sound of a racking shotgun is all you need".
How many people putting a light on their home defense weapons are going to get that kind of training?
