I have a flat top M4 type Bushmaster with an EOTech 552 and ARMS #40 BUIS.  I want to mount a flashlight and possibly a vertical foregrip but I am not interested in a full rail system because of cost and because it seems to be overkill for what I need it to do.  So my question for all you knowledgeable folks out there is what system would you recommend for mounting these accessories and what flashlight would you use?  I would like a light that has a remote pressure switch.  Any info would be much appreciated.

If cost is an issue, go with the FOBUS M33/M44 rail system or Busmaster's rail system.  The get yourself a Surefire M962.  Total cost around $400.

Or, go with the rails and get a Streamlight M6.  Total cost, around $400.

Maybe $450.

Okay maybe $500 but you'll be all set.

The easiest "add-a-rail", and VFG, is from [url=advanced-armament.com/ar-15.html]Advanced Armament[/url]

M33 lower handguard only (use the standard CAR upper handguard).  You may need to trip the tabs for clean fit - but they work well.

Works fine for a foregrip and a light.

I didn't care for the Advance Armament rail - too many accessories WON'T work with it.

Really?  I have no problems with mine, although I havent attached much to it.

What won't attach?

I have this setup.

Didnt cost a lot, and keeps the handguards free.
