I use Lumenoks.
Yes, they are more difficult to turn off, but are very sturdy and bright. You can simply twist and pull back and forth with pliers, or use your teeth. (Like I did this morning). Super bright even during the day, like a laser at dawn or dusk. They even hold up to repeated pounding from a crossbow.
I tried Nock Outs, was interested in the on-off collar.
First time it shot fine, not very bright. Second shot it completely came apart leaving the plastic nock still on my string! The remaining in the pack shot fine, but only lit about half the time. Went back to store.
Nockturnals also sounded great with their on-off switch. First one I couldn't get to turn off. The other 2 in the pack turned off easily. But, they were not bright at all. Went back to store. In defense of Nockturnals, another bowhunter swears by them and says they are the only ones he uses.

I have used both lumenoks and nocturnals. Shot several deer with lumenoks and none of them seemed to work as well once launched thru a chest cavity. I cleaned them and dried them with battery out. I did like the ability to replace their batteries though. Also don't like how they glow when they are getting rained on while in but not abutted in an arrow.
Nocturnals are my choice by far. Simple, easy to turn off with a pocket knife, and durable (one has been thru 7 deer already). Battery life is not great and I haven't figured a way to change the batteries.
Just my 2 pennies

I don't think there is a way to change Nockturnal batteries.
Most people just use the dead ones on their practice arrows.

Nockturnals have worked great for me.

I've used them all and Nockturnals are by far the best I've used when considering price, durability and design features.

Nockturnals are on my arrows. Like them.
