Whats the difference between these types of batteries besides the fact that you have to discharge NiCds.

NiCd's is easier to maintain, takes more abuse and seems to last longer. However, NiMh is avaible in larger capasity.
Some people claim that NiCd's got more punch, however, I prefer the performance from NiMh. I find they have plenty of punch for stock class, which I'm driving exclusively.

NiCd is "old-tech" - the cells have less capacity, are less environmentally friendly, but seem to be more durable. Development is over.
NiMH is "new-tech" - they are improving with every generation (the current GP 3300's are SO much better than the first Panasonic 3000's). Capacity is much higher, the cells are more environmentally friendly, and issues with "punch" and voltage seem to be a thing of the past (the GP's give better numbers than any NiCd). The only problem is that lifespan still seems shorter than NiCd's, i.e. NiMH will take fewer charges before performance deteriorates.
NiMH's are more sensitive to charging, they need a smaller "peak delta", a NiCD-only charger will overcharge a NiMH pack, shortening it's lifespan further.
