I spent a lot of time looking at these, whilst I didn't want to under purchase, in that I wanted at least 1 full charge+ out of the battery pack, I did not want to be hulking some hefty block about with me.
I found that most of the battery packs that are out there are either single or below full charges for the iPhone 5, or massively over kill like 5 times full iPhone 5 charge. As I said though, I didn't want the weight of a huge battery pack weighing me down. Then quite by accident whilst on Amazon, up popped a message that I'd been looking at battery packs and I aught to look at the options from Anker. Anker being spelt A N K E R. I had a look and found what I was looking for. Anker make the massive 5+ charge cycle units for you power crazed individuals who need to keep a portable power station with you at all times, and they even make a lip stick sized device good for about 90% charge of an iPhone 5 or a full 4S and below charge. WOW I'm thinking. So, for the middle of the road option, they do several here too, the model I opted for was the Anker Astro Mobile unit, 5600MRA, and is good for 2 full charges of an iPhone 5 with still some juice in it. This suits me perfectly and what I like most, its much smaller and lighter than a brick. Build quality is very good and I do think that the unit holds up against the more well established competition. Comes with a nice carry pouch and all the connectors, bar Apple Lightning, that you'll need. Hope that this helps.
