From what I have seen either the Outwell 300LX or the brighter 400LX are about the best, although they only have 3 or 4 LED's they are the super bright Cree LED's.
The 300LX runs of 3 "D" cell batteries and the 400LX takes 6 "D" cells, so two sets of rechargeables shouild ensure you are never in the dark.
The Outwell lantern is also marketed by various other brands, from around £30.
Another reasonable Lantern is the Aldi type that use a 7w flu-tube and takes 4 "D" cell batteries, probably about as bright as the Outwell 400LX, but the light from a flu-tube is harsh, and seems to attract evey flying insect from miles around, more so than other lighting types.
Although bright these type of Lanterns are no brighter than a 40watt light bulb in old money, your single mantle CampinGaz Lantern is equal to a 80watt bulb, so twice as bright as the above, give it a few years, and LED Lanterns will be as bright as thier Gas/Parafin counter parts.
