Which is better for camping in rain?

The GX35. Its IP67 rating means it can be dropped in a puddle or stream and keep working. The PX19R is IP54, which handles rain and splashes but not submersion.

Which lasts longer on one charge?

The PX19R, at up to 30 hours. The GX35 runs more than 10 hours. The PX19R's figure is likely at a low mode, so expect far less at full output.

Is the PX19R worth $11 more?

Yes if you want more lumens, a much longer runtime, USB-C and less weight. No if you need a light that survives being submerged or runs on cheap alkaline batteries.

The PX19R at 2600 lumens versus 2300 for the GX35. The GX35 throws slightly farther, 268 m against 250 m.

Can both use regular batteries?

Yes, but differently. The GX35 takes standard alkaline batteries as a primary option. The PX19R takes 3 x AAA as backup, and they are not included.

Which is easier to carry?

The PX19R at 7.73 oz and about 5.7 inches long. The GX35 is 13 oz and 7.5 inches, so it is bulkier in a pocket or pack.
