Recommended tactical flashlights

I am looking for a good tactical flashlight that can be used for airsoft that has good throw, has flexibility when choosing brightness level, either has or can be fitted with a pressure switch, and can be used as just a handheld light as well. I do not really have any price limitations.

Just curious, but has anyone heard anything good about Nitecore or Fenix lights

I use fenix, have 4 of them, the oldest one I've had for 6 years and it still looks and works like when it was new. They're awesome. I've not babied them at all. The only problem is the limited pressure switch options, and the cable that comes with the pressure switch is on the long side.

Look towards the surefire scout series, those are pretty effective photon cannons if your budget is unlimited. That said, if you were also looking for a flashlight that can be detached and used effectively handheld (which I assume you mean when you say used as "just a flashlight"), the only one I'm 100% familiar with is the Surefire G2X. Pressure pads are a bit more difficult to come by for that model but not impossible. I'm sure others will chime in with others though.
