For a novice, I would agree that it's best to keep things simple. A 2000mah NIHM will be a much easier route than learning how to deal with a more complicated battery/charging system.
There is nothing wrong with Ken's suggestion. I'm in the process of switching to LiFe packs, myself. I just prefer to keep things easy for beginners.
