With photography, speed is important - especially if you're counting on your flash. I use the Canon CP-E3 battery packs to help my recycle time. They are relatively inexpensive, use standard AA batteries, and if they run out of power, I can just pull the plug and use the internal batteries on the flash.
I use "Tenergy" brand rechargable AA batteries for my flashes. They are rated for 2600MaH (higher #s are better) and I get them through a vendor on ebay. I usually keep 24-36 batteries charged at all times (enough for 2 flashes, 2 battery packs, and some to spare).
Enjoy!
