Going to give some advice here. I have a Original Microsoft set. They are rated at 800mah. Has a awesome cable that's about it.
I have bought the sparkfox set and have had poor battery life. A hammer revealed that they are 400mah. I have not used the ones in your first link.
Currently I have 8 eneloops a pack of 4 cost me 275 but I think they about 400 now at RS Components. You can use any charger with them but being a battery dork I have a fancy chargers and have done a controlled discharge on them and none of them have less than 1950mah.
Just my honest experience. Hope it helps.

I'm on my second sparkfox set and they worked just fine for me. The first one took about 4 years before the battery life got to a point that I decided to replace it. I'm the only one that uses the xbox so when one controller dies I just drop it on the charger and continue playing with the second controller and when I'm not playing both controllers are usually charging. For the price they are not bad, got mine at makro for R299

I have a sparkfox set and an original microsoft set. Obviously the microsoft set is significantly better, but at R200 odd bux you could probably buy 3 of the sparkfox play and charge kits for the price of the ms one. No complaints on the sparkfox from my side

I've been using Energizer AA's since I got my first 360. Would recommend.

I have been using Duracell rechargeable batteries and the Microsoft charger pack (800mah), the Duracell`s last longer obviously longer, as they have a higher mah rating, but you do have to take them out of the controller to charge them.
Personal preference Duracell rechargeable batteries(2000mah or 2500mah), cant quite remember which mah Duracell`s I have.

I've got the Smatree ones listed in your link above and they've been great so far. Last way longer than the original Microsoft charge n play kit.

The Smatree ones seem like the best, but the convenience of the dock with sparkfox charger seems awesome. Makes me wish they sold the Smatree dock in RSA too.

Ended up buying the sparkfox dock for R249 at Makro today. Anyone know how long it takes to charge fully?
