Looking for opinions and observations on rechargeable batteries and chargers. I've essentially settled on eneloop batteries but it's the charger part that I'm vacillating on.
I could get 4 eneloop batteries with a Panasonic QB-CC17 charger:

According to what I've read, this charger does a 300 mA charge which is slow but slow is good for rechargeables. Prevents them from prematurely failing. This is a simple charger without the bells and whistles.
However, I could also get just the batteries (4 for ~$14 or 8 for ~$25) and get a separate Maha MH-C9000 charger:

But obviously that's more money.
Then there is another combo deal:

This is just as expensive as the above charger by itself but you also get 8 batteries.
Then there are the La Crosse chargers to consider.
Essentially, I've been going round and round on what combination of batteries/chargers to get, trying to find what I would consider a good price/value.
I know there are those who will say, "Just get the most expensive/best rated one" and that is my normal philosophy as well. However, considering I buy refurbished products when I can and have never had any issue, always spending the most money doesn't necessarily mean getting the best value.
These batteries would only be used for my camera flash and would not be used heavily. As stated at the beginning, I've read numerous articles and opinions so this is just another step in the process.
