The Costco Eneloops typically include a charging unit which handles both AA and AAA batteries. Eneloops aren't generally good for high-energy tasks, but if you buy enough extra batteries, maybe it doesn't matter.
I have Eneloops, but I chose a PDP 2-wiimote charger.
Every charging solution requires you to remove the silicone cover from the wiimote to access the battery compartment. However, a charging kit gives you a different battery cover to use so you don't need to remove the batteries to charge them.
On the PDP charger, I can flip the bottom of the pad up and rap it around the top of the wiimote (sort of like pulling your shirt over your head) so the cover is only half-off. The wiimotes then charge fine in the base.
To recharge Pro controllers, I chose the Nyko Charge Base Pro which is extremely easy to use. You plug a magnetic piece into the Pro's USB port. That piece then clamps itself onto the charging base with no need to line up the USB port. Just leave the magnetic clip on while you play.
Ignore the negative Amazon reviews for the Nyko because they mostly pertain to people who bought Nyko controllers and found the Nyko charger only works with official Pro controllers. It's a valid gripe, but irrelevant if you have an official Pro controller.

My local Game Stop is selling a rebadged version by Power A for $9.97 on clearance. Not sure if all locations carry it though.
