+1 for the Panasonic Eneloops PRO NiMh rechargeables. They are great for anything with a narrow voltage range.
For stuff that works fine/better at higher voltages, I'd look for a good Li-Ion in the applicable form-factor/cell size (AA = 14500, etc.).
For stuff that accepts Li-Ions, but may be sitting for extended periods of time (glove-box flashlights, etc.), I'd go with Li-Ion primary (non-rechargeable) cells.

Regardless, there are TONS of counterfeit cells and re-wraps out there, so stick with a reputable brand name from a reputable vendor.
Unless you are 100% sure of the source, I'd avoid buying batteries off of Amazon or especially eBay. YMMV
