Default Battery Confusion

Did a lot of reading and I am still confused. Tried reading the Battery section but there are too many different types of applications there. All I am interested in is giant scale planes. I am getting back into the hobby after a 2 1/2 year layoff, plane is a good 7 years old. Man has battery technology changed. Got rid of my old NiMH batteries but would like to know what everyone is using. Plane is a 35% Yak with a DA100, DSM2 radio equipment. Figured a simple 2500 mah 6v AA NiMH pack for the ignition would be fine. But what about receiver packs. Mah is not the issue, but battery technology is at least for me. LiPo, Li-ion and so on. Bought some Fromeco A123 packs but not too keen on not being able to check to voltage. What is everyone running in giant scale planes? Bring an old flyer back up to battery speed.
