I'll probably going to go with all of them under the hood for now, see what kind of range I get, what kind I need, and make modifications from there. I'm trying to implement a certain level of modularity, so I'm not having to cut things apart to make potential changes.

I expect the batteries will suffice for 98% of my driving. It's the other 2% I'm not completely sold on giving up on yet. We'll see.
