You will get a lot of votes for eneloop.

You can check out this thread: https://photography-on-the.net …st+rechargeable​+batteries for a great run-down of rechargeables.

Breaking trend, I cycle through brands. Of course, eneloops are a pick, but I usually go energizer -> rayovac -> eneloop -> pearstone -> repeat as I retire sets from camera duty on a regular basis. I've had a couple times where I'd go out and find that the batteries have gotten old to the point they don't hold charges like they should, or that I mixed some of those in with a good batch because they're the same brand.

Not funny when the wireless mic on the Pastor stops transmitting halfway through a wedding ceremony and I have to mix audio with the Camera's onboard for the rest of the duration. =(

Eneloop. Costco sells a starter kit (8 AAs, 4 AAAs, and a charger) for a pretty good price.

I also recently got a Lacrosse charging station that has a "refresh" mode - it brought some tired old Energizers back from the grave.

looks like Eneloop batteries are the way to go

But I've been using the same set of Walmart batteries for years !
