For nearly everything else ... the 5.0 XC is going to be that sweet spot in terms of size, and recharge rates. Not to mention, given enough time, every battery is going to fail (degradation, damage from drops or just aging out).
So if you're looking for a battery for a light, drill or anything else that a semi- to light weight pro needs, stick with the 5.0s as the base.

The only issue is that the 12.0 and 8.0 are a decent amount heavier than the 5.0 batteries. I guess they'd be fine for the light (though overkill), but I wouldn't use the big batteries with a one-handed tool like a drill or driver for any extended period of time.
The V18 series tools, which preceded the M18, are incompatible. I think those were NiCad.
[edit] Read the post above, and I forgot about some of the tools where the batteries fit inside, like the portable shop vac, or at a particular angle like the barrel jigsaw. I haven't run into any issues, but I've only used my 12.0 battery with the blower and the circular saw. The 5.0 batteries have been fine for all of my other tools.
These large batteries are good for the high power tools that'll kill a standard battery in 10min, or tools you won't move around too much. I use a 12.0 for the shop vac, it gets me about an hr of use.

Did an entire yard of leaves yesterday for my neighbor and he was quite impressed with the power and longevity of the blower. His dewalt blower didn't even stand a chance.
I have to agree 5.0 is great for the mid level amp draw tools, prob much cheaper, and generally you get them for free with promo deals on tools. I have so many from promos I haven't even opened some.
Charge time, weight, capacity, ability it really is a sweet spot, it should be noted my testing is primarily with fuel stuff.
Interestingly HO's have shown to provide slightly more power even on pre HO tools, though I wonder if it just has to do with less voltage sag under load due to higher capacity. Like wonder if a 6.0HO can put down similar power to say 8.0, or 3.0HO vs a 4 or 5. I'll toy around tomorrow.
Anyway to the point, old school or not, 5.0 has a wide use range and is cheap
