Look into the Hyperion line of chargers. I use a 606i, so far I am really pleased w/ it.

I bought mine from Holmes Hobbies.

I use the MRC Superbrain 989 with a Hyperion LBA10 balancer. However, if I was to get another charger it would be the Hyperion EOS0610I charger.

Using the 0606i also. Bought it for a123s but now moving into lipo as well. I have acquired some diff brand lipos and with an order for the three balance tap adapters, I can now balance just about anything lipo.

Hyperion made it far easier than I thought to charge/balance different brand lipos.

I have the 0606, 0610 and 0610duo right now, as well as a few older hyperions. Really solid chargers, I use the duo the most.

I use this charger and this Balancer. Works great for all my Nimh's and Lipo's. I have not had any problems.

I have the Hyperion 0610i and charges great, you will want at least a 18amp switching PS...it all depends on your expected demands.

what batteries will you be using?
