The Sanyo Pannys from Japan are excellent.
You need to be more specific, each model is more or less suitable for different use cases
while some are eclipsed by other makers' cells.

The GAs are no longer recommended, as Pajda has repeatedly stated from years of precisely structured comparative testing.
Also confirmed by many other technically proficient users in the threads I linked to in post #7. GA may shows great performance in initial capacity / power discharge / internal resistance tests when brand new, but it wears very fast in use, showing drastic drop-offs in all three of those factors along with concomitant early/fast waste heat production.
Even avoiding the extreme voltage "shoulders" 4.10Vpc to 3.2Vpc (80% capacity utilisation) does not help compared with its competitors, especially the most superior models I listed above, e.g. LG MJ1 or M36
even when the GA's are full -cycled down to 3.05Vpc, close to 10% of their capacity every time
Also SONY VC7 and even Samsung 35E are dramatically better at maintaining their excellent performance over longer lifetimes.
Note I am **not at all** saying GA isn't good, if genuine new Grade A are selling cheap grab 'em as fantastic **value**, they are better than 97% of what's on the market,
but the OP's use case is clearly looking for top-notch performance, cost is not a priority and GA should therefore not be considered.
Just in case that was the model you meant by "Sanyo Pannys from Japan"
