Zippos are reliable but are what I'll call higher maintenance. It's really hard to beat the reliability of a Bic.

What lighter is BuyItForLife?
What kind of lighter do you use?
My 30+ year old Zippo lighters....
What's the Bic lighter of other product classes? They're a solid option that's almost universally better than similarly priced alternatives, even if they are consumable
The Zippo lighter. A true Buy It For Life item that you can still buy today. This one is only about 5 years old, but you send any Zippo lighter from any time period to the factory, and they’ll send it back working like a new one. Oh, and still 🇺🇸MADE IN USA🇺🇸
My lighter is as old as I am (32 years) and still works perfectly!
