no one appears to make c & d-cells in 1.5V disposable lithium so you're left with alkaline

consumer reports and other testers indicated there isn't a huge different in better known brands (eveready, duracell, kirkland, amazon basics, etc)

i would buy whatever you prefer having a good long Best-Used-By date.

just don't leave them in a device! it is pretty much guaranteed that some will leak eventually. store them separately in a container that can withstand that sort of leakage (plastic has worked better for me than a steel ammo can).

while NIMH rechargeables are great for daily use, they loose to much energy over time, so might not be the best for longterm storage.
