A set of Eneloops will have a much longer service life than a lithium-ion polymer battery. Li-ions go bad in 2-3 years independently of use; they naturally degrade over time.
The lights you've pointed to look pretty decent, although I'm dubious of the claim that the headlight can put out a full 70 lumens. Those 5mm LED's are not all that efficient compared to power LED's, but can be run at lower currents more easily. The rear light is suspiciously familiar, but looks to be a good light. (On a related note, its unusual for a maker to give rear lumen specs, wish more would do it).
