You'll find quite a bit of discussion of batteries on the SOTA 
reflector, but apart from the cost, I can't see any obvious advantages 
of using SLABs any more.

Choose an appropriate LiFePo and you'll have a battery delivering more 
power at a more useful voltage with rather less weight in your pack...

Things get a bit more involved if you intend flying to foreign parts. 
Again, lots of advice on the SOTA reflector.
