NiCad rechargeable for older detectors
Li-Ion / Li-Po rechargeable for newer detectors
Alkaline for all my "C" cell and 9VDC powered detectors
All batteries I use are from reputable name brand battery manufacturers, no super high capacities, very inexpensive "good" deals.
OEM (as supplied) by SunRay, MAXXPACKS, and RnB Innovations
Eveready
Duracell
Tenergy
Sanyo
Panasonic

I find the Energizer brand of alkaline batteries will leak when left in equipment, so I stay away from them. I mostly use rechargeables, and have never had any issues with them, other then holding a charge for a less time after a years useage.
I have one too, which I float through my ATs. It surely is a great battery.

I have been using EBL rechargeables for the past 3 years or so. Never had a problem, leak or any other unpleasantness.
I can't kneel to dig anymore, so that sidelines me as far as metal detecting goes. Mostly I use them in game cameras. No problems still.
