this one and I like it a lot. I use the AAA's that came with it and a couple of pairs of Dura-Cell rechargeables and just rotate them as needed, which isn't very often.
+1 on the LaCrosse BC-700 battery charger. I love mine.
I use Eneloops, both AA and AAA. I keep a rotation going, so I always have fresh ones ready to go when needed. They have been great rechargeable batteries for me.
I also use the charger to charge AA's and AAA's for home uses, like video game wireless controllers and LED reading lights.
