I'm not buying anything but eneloop (although others may be manufacturing hybrid NiMH batteries, eneloop are the only I have experience with) batteries from here on out as they're so vastly superior to conventional NiMH batteries, but like mackstann noted, chargers are pretty durable items.
If you go the eneloop route, I'd get chargers that have their long life spans in mind: http://www.eneloop.info/products/chargers.html
If you have a larger collection of older, various cells, Maha and La Crosse both make solid chargers.
That said, whether either manufacturer has a charger that is 100% free of manufacturing/design defects is debatable.

Hopefully there is someone on reddit who has scoured the internet and can distill this information for us...
EDIT: Ansmann (disturbingly close to assman) chargers seem to be fairly highly regarded as being particularly well engineered: http://www.amazon.com/Ansmann-5407022-Energy-8-Charger/dp/B00017LRCM
