I've got a LaCrosse and it is the best charger I've ever owned and was fairly cheap.  Only does 4 at a time, but the added functionality is worth it for me....

I used 2 of these when I ran a tascam HD-P2.

I've got a lot of rechargeables to handle and I've always had good experience with maha chargers.  For your needs I'd recommend the MH-C808M.  From the Thomas Distribution site:

"It's like having eight chargers! The 7th generation Powerex microprocessor features a 0.001V resolution delivering just the right charge! The microprocessor that is powering the MH-C808M battery charger is state of the art. It features eight analog-to-digital converters with precision resolution at 0.001V (that's one thousandth of a volt) per battery delivering just-the-right-charge. It's like having eight individual "computer controlled" battery chargers! Users can mix any battery capacity, battery brand, and/or sizes without the fear of overcharging or undercharging. Maha's unique "Digital Signal Processing" noise-reduction algorithms ensure that the signals do not cross talk. This is an Ultra Precision charger. Even the circuit board is manufactured from a reinforced fiberglass material compound. This gives the circuitry in the MHC808M battery charger the ability to withstand temperature and abuse that would quickly render other battery chargers in-operable."

I've been using one for about a year with no problems, and I'm using it to capacity on AA, aaa, c and D charging.  I use 8 C cells in our Fanon Megaphone and they alone save us a lot of money. 

Get two if you need 16 charging channels.  This charger is very well made and will keep you covered.
