What is the best laser pointer for doing presentations?

As the holidays approach, I'm looking for that special something for my favorite staff officer... me. I am curious when it comes to indoor presentations, which laser pointer does the best job out there for visual clarity and distance? Sometimes I'm in an auditorium and those cheap-o lasers can't be seen. I don't need something that will burn a hole through vibranium, or etch my initials on the moon. I served with a Colonel that had a pointer that switched between red and green - that was cool. The reason was to adjust when you came across a color-blind person, which we did once while briefing a general officer. He couldn't see the red dot from the pointer. That was a first.

I'm all ears. Please be specific with the brand and model if possible. Thanks.

As an IT guy that gives presentations for the latest and greatest releases of our POS(point of sale) software I like to use a presentation laser. I'm that nerd. This is the one I use. It's worth the money. Don't get one of those "ergonomic" garbage lasers that are too tiny and fall out of your hands.
BEWARE: Never point in someones eyes and also beware that you will be called a nerd/luke skywalker/ not this boring class again

COL Thomas F. During my civilian career, I only used a laser pointer a couple of times. I would use appearing or disappearing text to make my points stand out. Many of my meetings would have many attendees so I used the largest text that I could. I tried to keep my meetings to an hour or less when possible. I would attend Flight Readiness Reviews that would drag on for five to eight hours or more. I would keep my portion short and would usually finish in 15 to 20 minutes. Presenters could leave when they were finished, so I usually could leave after two or three hours.

For many years, we had to rely on transparencies, which were a major pain to deal with.
