- are NiCad the best and/or only rechhargable batteries

No in the AA size there are companies that make Nickel Metal Hydride as well
as nickel cadmium, but the Nickel Metal are much harder to find and much more
expensive.(I suppose there is probably a company out there making Lithium Ion
AA I just have not found them yet)


- are quick-chargers better or worse; depending on what?

There are several different ways to charge, but unfortunately only a few are
implemented at the AA size. So you probably will be stuck (unless you plan on
building your own) only being able to find one kind of charger. I usually give
up and just buy the one made by the manufacture of whatever batteries I bought.


- do NiCads have a 'memory effect'?

Yes! Nickel Metal and Lithium Ion batteries do not.
