One set was some GP brand AAAs that came with a Bosch laser distance
finder. That was partially my fault; I'd lent it to someone and then
subsequently lost it and then found it under the seat of my car some
months later

An Energizer AA also leaked in a wall clock, but who knows how long it'd
been there. (not my clock.)

Roommate actually bought a huge pack of Philips brand carbon zinc AAs
probably at Big Lots, he doesn't understand why I don't want to use them

Which brands of alkalines were most leaker for you?
Was one brand worse?

I recently had a bunch of Rayovac D alkalines leak.
New in pack, in date. Not stored in car truck or
other high heat.

Not really, Eneloops (and the other LSD NiMH cells) are practical for
applications where regular NiMHs (or any other currently available
rechargeable cell) would be completely unsuitable, like remote controls,
battery powered wall clocks, etc. Only took a couple alkaline leaking
incidents to make me take the leap, because the only other real
alternative would be lithium primaries, but if the Eneloops last for 3-4
charge cycles they've paid for themselves relative to lithiums.
