Personally, what few batteries I still use are rechargeables. The more one 'eats' batteries, the quicker the return on a (modest, these days...) investment.
Just sayin'.

Exactly what i noticed for my camera flash. £3-4 a pop for a pack of duracells or a tenner for 8 rechargables, no brainer really.
As for the one bass i still have that requires a battery, i just grab whatever Duracells i can find. It's probably been about two years since i changed it so i haven't got a clue.
