Default Quick battery question

I been getting a little flack about the batteries I been using in my jets at our field. (Mixed opinions)
I guess I am "old school" I still use Ni-Cad and Ni-medal for my reciever. I really have had no issues in the past.
I am getting suggestion to run 123 batteries, lipo w/ a regulator or duel batteries.. I do understand that this would be better, BUT is it nesseary?
Now a days we are running digital servo's that draw more power. But if I test my batteries after every flight or every other flight, should I make the change??
I now use a 2700, 5 cell AA size battery in my Sprint and a 5 cell 3200 sub-C in my Elan (Ni-metal)
I guess what I am asking is should I get with the times and make the change to the new battery system???

Thanks guys

Hoss
