Lipos from different vendors

I personally fly EP Buddy's Glacier batteries, and the Gens Ace packs from Hobbypartz.
Between those two, the Glaciers have tested slightly better.

Same for me both top notch but I will add that dealing with Dale at EP Buddy is so much better than HP. I do hear very good things on Haiyin packs too but have not tried them

I have two of the Value Hobby 3S 2200mAh 30C packs for my 48" 3DHS Edge. I can't tell any difference in flight performance with them versus my Glacier or GensAce packs with the same specs. I don't have enough cycles on them to see how they are going to hold up over the long run. One thing with the Value Hobby packs, they are only rated at 3C max charge rate.

Charge rate isnt that's big off a deal to me. I'm rarely in a rush but its nice sometimes. Im just going to get them from whoever has them in stock

Stock is definitely a problem right now.

Haiyin makes a good quality lipo and has decent prices. Usually they have a good stock as well

Yup. Indoor season is in full effect right now. At least in eastern PA it is

For 3s 450s I bought some from twisted hobbys but haiyin has 3s 500s

Well I had to ditch 4 of my Gens Ace 450's. I charged them up and checked out the cells with the battery tester. They had full power for like a second then immediately fell on their faces. Sooo into the trash they go. I'm stubborn when it comes to batteries though. Especially the small ones. I'm having a hard time paying more than 8-10 bucks for a little 3S 450-500. I'm not convinced that a name brand will perform better or last longer than something cheaper. Also, I feel as if they are just re-badged with "name brand" lables on them. My ignorance I guess.
