Given the problems and special equipment needed for other types of batteries, I'd stick with Ni-Cads. They're easy to properly maintain and charge and very forgiving of errors in both.
I have an Hobbico Accu-Cycle Elite charger in order so I will be ok to charge any type of batteries. However, I wanted at first to buy an NiMH pack because of their greater capacity, price and weight advantage. So, what problems is related to NiMH batteries. I use theses type of batteries in my digital camera with no problem since many years. Let me know.
