It's hard to beat a dynamo for reliability or convenience, but a full dyno set up is still a bit of an investment if you won't be using it regularly. However, you mention "touring" so it could be that even if you do most of your riding in daylight, not having to worry about batteries while you are out and about could make a dynamo system worthwhile for you. A decent headlight will eat batteries quickly, but if you only need "be seen" blinky lights then a set of batteries could last a whole tour with occasional use.
