Default Rayovac batteries - or rechargables?

I've heard good about Eneloops. I've also tried Powergenix, which is a
different set of metals. Iron, zinc. They work well, for me. I've had
one or two cells that didn't hold a charge as well, but who can tell.
Might be just a fluke. Powergenix need their own charger, different
voltage and charge cycle. Only found in AA size.

Anybody using Eneloops?
I've been using them for all my wireless stuff and digital camera for
about a year now and really like them. They hold a charge longer than
the Targa and Ever-Ready rechargeables I was using before, and don't
degrade after repeated chargings like those did.
That's just my impression, no scientific testing.
I'm thinking about getting some more for the flashlights, and have
just one battery type in the house.

But Eneloops are a bit more expensive than most rechargeables, so I
haven't pulled the trigger on that.
