Eneloops are pretty much the gold standard, but will cost more. If you're not going that route, IKEA Laddas are reported to be very similar to Eneloops. Because they're both made in Japan, they're made in the same factory (since there's only the one). Many even say they're rebranded older generation Eneloops, though even if they're not exactly the same, they're pretty dang close.
The Stenkol battery charger is also pretty highly regarded, and can charge single cells (unlike many cheaper chargers from Energizer and such that need to do it in pairs).
TL;DR: go with Eneloops if you have the cash. If not, go with IKEA Laddas.
Oh, and from what I can tell, the Eneloop Pros may have higher capacity (and cost more as a result), but they have faster drain in storage and fewer recharge cycles. The Pros are great for devices that use a lot of power quickly (e.g., camera flashes), but the regular Eneloops are better for emergency kits and lower power draw devices because of their low self discharge. I guess it has something to do with how the Pros have different internal builds to increase their capacity, but because it all has to fit in the same size cell (e.g., AA, AAA), the chemicals are closer to each other and discharge faster. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but that is my high level understanding from some of the research I've done.

I've been using these AAA in remotes and no complaints here.
