People put way too much stock in the whole "made in Japan" thing. Not all batteries made in Japan are good, nor are all batteries made in China bad.
You are correct that the Energizer NiMH are usually made in Japan, however they are definitely not rebranded Eneloops. They have different physical and electrical characteristics. Strangely, there's a huge difference between the 2000mAh and 2300mAh version. The 2300mAh version are garbage, while the 2000mAh seem fairly decent.
I know people often bring up the supposedly rebranded Eneloops, such as the IKEA Ladda or Watson MX/CX but I'm not convinced they're as good as genuine Eneloops. The ones I've tested have been quite inconsistent, unlike real Eneloops, which have all performed virtually identically. Also, a site that did long term testing had rebranded Eneloops at the bottom of the chart, while the genuine ones did quite well.
As an alternative, the Ikea Laddas are supposedly rebadged Eneloop Pros at well under $2/battery. Ive been running those and have been happy with the results.

Look up the paper clip trick.
I use the scissors method.
Show me your work.
The Powerowl have 200 mA more capacity, meaning if you were to mix the Eneloops with Powerowl, the Eneloops would have a lower depth of discharge, accumulate wear faster, and fail sooner.
All of this is moot, because devices kill batteries because they discharge them too deeply, so what you want is a lower cost cell that can be replaced at a lower cost once you've ruined them.
Deep discharges aren't really a problem for NiMH, though overdischarging can be. If you want cells that can be replaced cheaply, buy the Amazon Basics. They're even cheaper than the Powerowls and they don't have outright fraudulent ratings.
