I tend to prefer Miner's Hat over Lantern for a few reasons: it frees up your hands to carry a weapon or walking cane; if you need to run away from a fight, you don't need to grab a light on the ground first; you can still wear armor and fight; you can also refill a Miner's Hat with light bulbs and slurtle slime, so it's not really that expensive.

In general, if I'm able to keep my hands free, I'll usually prefer that option.
