The optimum setup is the most power available to the least amount of weight..

A lil' research will do you well..

Status: offline 		I guess my concern is do I need a 3cell pack with 1500 or 2100..is the big difference in flight time.i wont be doing extreme or hard wide open flying the entire time.doesnt mean I fly slow either ...something in between..will the 20 c run cooler than 15..and I guess my other concern is willthey run cooler at higher level..I dont want to start out and find I should have had bigger packs..

http://www.commonsenserc.com/product_info.php?cPath=38_28&products_id=34

It will charge at 1amp which would be ~.5C of your 2100 pack, so it would take a little longer, but for the price, it's hard to beat..

Normally you'd charge the 2100 at 2.1amps or 1C, however charging at 1amp will take longer but your battery pack will love you for it..
