What is the consensus re. NiMH AA rechargable batteries?  I would like to
purchase some quality batteries.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I
will be using them in my E-20.

Dave,
Did you see what Tim Hughes posted a couple days ago?  Here's part of it:

"AA size NiCds alone have ~35A short circuit current while NiMh's have about ~40A, not a huge difference, while Alkalines are more like ~10A. What all this means is that the Quantum packs are theoretically tougher on your flash than the NiMh's. Since Quantum has succesfully sold it's batteries for years it seems likely that the NiMh's are ok, provided you don't recycle full dump's continuously. "

FWIW I love 'em.

Joel W.
