In terms of freedom of movement and field of vision, I like the drug store reading glasses better than the big black visor type magnifiers. Depending on your age, a diopter rating of +1 to +2 is good for most soldering, and +3 for small SMD. They're cheap and readily available.

IMO, a mag-light is great for inspecting one's work, but if one intends to use 
the mag-light while soldering, the need to be 8 inches or less away from the 
work will interfere with most soldering irons...That is when a magnifier worn 
on the head, or clip-ons, are better...
