Forget NiMH, Forget Lipos, Forget Li-Ion.... I use The New improved Sub C Alkaline Cells. J/K

I love lipos, like many others said, the weight is awesome, but I still keep my IB4200s, I like bashing around with them alot. NiMH seems to take more abuse physical abuse than Lipos, but Lipos can perform a hell of a lot better. But make sure you buy good Lipos, I've used a bunch of cheap crapy ones, and they expand alot. Even though I didn't exceed the recommended Discharge rates. I like NiMH, but love Lipos.

NiMh for safety, cost, and because I have them lying around as I still bash my T4.

I got 3S Lipos in MiniQuake and I love the power over NiMh
But IB4200 Team cells are more than enough in Maxx right now. Will get lipos once my NiMh will die but still have 10 8cell packs (got IB from on road racers for like 30% of original price and they had just 7 cycles with 5.5A charge on them) I WANT A SPONSOR TOO :)

I tend to use cheapish Nihm due to the cost factors, which is stupid really since I spend so much money building a truck, but wont fork out for good batteries. Then again, I can get about 10 cheap 6cell packs for the cost of a good Lipo, so that gets me the long afternoon of bashing I want.... All depends on your budget & intended uses I guess.
