Stay away from Duracell's imho.

I've never had any problems with Energizers.

Sorry about the ot post, but there are some smart people here. Has anyone 
noticed the quality of alkaline cells these days? They are supposed to have 
a shelf life of ten years, but some brands leak far before the dc voltage 
drops off. I have had bad luck with job smart (True Value) and Rayovac. The 
D cells and AA cells leak a corrosive goo that has damaged a Simpson 260, 6v 
lantern, flashlights, frs ht, and calculators. I would gladly pay a little 
more for a leak proof brand. What's a good brand? Thanks
