Default Charger Question - high amp or multi?

I am shopping new chargers. I currently have a Venom Pro that does well for my needs, but showing it age. It still balances very well, and charges everything I need. It just seems to be working all the time to keep batteries topped on race day, and battery logistics comes into play sometimes. I do have multiple packs, but running 2 classes about the 3rd heat it feels harried sometimes insuring batteries are topped.

Would a smarter choice be a higher power charger (10+ amps - if packs will handle it) along with my old venom, or a multi pack charger (example only - Hitech Multi Charger x4). Is it better to charge one pack (both for the battery care and time wise) at 2C+, or many packs (or different kinds of batteries) @ 1C.

OR for that matter, just get more packs, and keep pounding my trusty ol' Venom.
