Re: VIP - 1x123 vsxAA
I mostly use the AA body. Been using Ray-O-Vac 15 min charger batteries, and I just top off cells ever so often. They have the amperage to run the VIP on high, and will be great with the BBH. I will be ordering some of the CBP 1650's for the ultimate amperage. For discrete carry in public, I opt for the 123 body.

123 - regrettably the VIP isn't seeing much duty these days, so it sits ready with its "fuel and forget" 123 in case I need something more powerful than the 2x123 Ultra Power 3 that's been on my belt lately ($30 and potentially replaceable, unlike the VIP).
I have a ready supply of charged AAs in my backpack for my digital camera - where the VIP sits - so it wouldn't be a problem to carry the AA body as well...

I keep the VIP kit (Everything but a BBH) in the Avalanche with the AA body and spare AA batteries along with two 123s. Even if I forget to keep the AAs charged it should still be ready to use. Keep a headband with it for hands free use if needed.
