I'm still waiting for the Air Ion batteries or Lithium Ion batteries...
That and my Flying Car!!!
Cost vs. usage is almost a personal thing. I have had several people in the battery business tell me that the "Best bang for the buck" is a standard 6 volt lead-acid golf cart batteries. Like everything else there are trade-offs.
