I use the Hyperion charger. I have the basic 0606i (recent version) and I am very happy with the charge it gives, the only issue I have with it is that the discharge is only 1A so the "store" mode takes a while to happen. The better models in the range have upgradeable firmware too.
On the topic of quality... there is a difference between the chargers that are professionally engineered and developed before manufacture, and the chargers that are an undeveloped copy of an existing design using low-grade components.
Most of the cheap chargers you see on eBay (and a lot of the own-brand chargers you see from UK distributors) are the latter. Companies like Bantam and Hyperion actually develop the chargers themselves and have them built to higher standards.
Granted, you don't often hear of chargers or batteries blowing up, but battery care is a pretty serious business, and I don't risk the no-name stuff on it.
