[Paddlewise] lighters

Anyone have a suggestion regarding a bomb-proof lighter to carry in a bail 
out bag - or in a PFD?  Would like something for normal camp use - but also 
to make sure I can make fire if absolutely needed.  Obviously the old 
reliables like flint/steel and fire goo are the best backup.  I was 
wondering about the two models by Brunton:

(Sorry for the long URLs - hopefully you won't have to cut-n-paste them)

The one with the LED light (2nd one) looks like a neat little package - but 
not sure if these units will stand up to this kind of abuse and possible 
immersion.

What are others carrying in their PFDs for fire starters?

Thanks,
K
