The Astroflight is lipo only but seem to charge a little faster than other lipo chargers I've seen and you would need a power supply. I think it would be a good choice but it is lipo only. The 1210i looks like a good choice but I have no experience with that charger. Any of the Hyperion seem fine I just wanted to point out the limitations of the EOS 5i you listed. If you plan to stick to 5000mah or below the 5I is fine. Just keep also in mind that lipos are advancing technology all the time....who knows in the next few months a battery will probably come out that will charge at 2C reliably (some already say its ok). At that point the charger won't handle a 2C charge for a 5000. I'm not discouraging the 5i just that it is right at the edge of what you need... it would be the cheapest choice. Just balance what you want to spend with what you get.
