Default Batteries

What I would do is this...get cheap raw 3300 cells for about $5 each. 4 packs of 6 will cost you 120. IMHO, matching isnt the utmost importance, especially if you are starting to race.

Pick up a used high end charger for 120-150(I picked up my Integy 16x9 for $150, it's real easy to find the same deal)

Assemble packs and go rip em up

When I used to race, I have 4 race packs, and 6 cheapie practice packs, usually picked up used packs off of team racers or buddies for a good deal for practicing.

The more you keep in your pocket, the more to can spend elsewhere.

The fukyama packs are real cheap too....
