What rechargeable AAs do you use in Speedlite?

I use Panasonic Infinium (the Eneloops equivalent) but tbh I never go anywhere serious without a set of Energizer Lithium in reserve! There's a pack in my bag at all times - just in case.
 
Never bother with rechargables myself, I always use Energizer Lithium's in my flashes - they are quite expensive to buy but they last for ages!

Don't know if it's the same with enelopps but I have Ansmann Max-e's - lot's of them in xbox & wii controllers, two flashguns plus spare batteries, remote control hansets etc.

They are brilliant, but don't be tempted to put them in a normal charger, they get very hot. Get a proper charger for them.

I think the technoline bc900 is probably the best one I've yet seen but it is not cheap at £30 or £40 (can't remember just at the moment). 4 seperate channels with different charge modes and LCD display for each battery so you know what it is doing.

Seconded - I'm about to get a 2nd one.

For the cost of them I would just stick a new set of Eneloops in the bag, at least I can re-use them if they get used. However I just keep four sets of Eneloops for 2 flashes. I get 500+ flashes from a set anyway and doubt I will need more than 2000+ flashes in a day or I would be up with RSI :) but better safe than sorry.
