Default What batteries do you run?

So I've been running my Bully on 3S packs from Hobby King and while I haven't had any real issues I want to step up to 4S or possible some smaller 3S packs. What do you run? I'm looking at ideas for new packs and thought I would check out what everyone else likes. I'm looking for light weight and small physical size. Price is not really an issue but quality is.

I'm using the Nano 3S 350mah for comps and 850mah to practice in my MOA.

I run 3S Elite 1300's in my 2.2 Bully, a bit overkill in capacity.
I'm running 3S 825's (?) in my XR-10 (dual 35T motors) due to size. Even that is a little large for a comp pack.

I typically buy from www.CheapBatteryPacks.com since the packs are good, price is alright, they support this site and I can order with whatever plugs & balance ports I want.

I have run a turnigy nano tech. Was not to happy with it. It essentially died after about 10 or less cycles. I love my hobbypartz skylipos.

I had not considered pack from CheapBatteryPacks yet, thanks for that tip. I am looking at some Thunder Power G6 pack right now, seems to be they have a pretty good reputation and size seems good. There is not alot of room in the BJ4 chassis so the 850 seems to be what I am wanting. 1300MaH are just too big.

I'm a huge fan of Thunder Power batteries. I run the 45C 1750 3s with a 3300kv Pro4 in my scaler, and they are the only batteries I haven't puffed. I've puffed some Hyperion, Elite, Blue Rhino, and a couple others that I can't remember. My next purchase are some TP 65C 1800mah.
