I've had pretty good results with NiMH batteries in this flash. And they're
cheap (relatively). However, I have often wished for a TurboZ when shooting
at events where faster recycle times, especially at high discharge levels)
would be helpful.

A battery pack would undo the portability of this flash, and would be
overkill, in my opinion. Try Lithium batteries; even though they seem to be
very expensive, they last much longer than an equivalent amount of alkalines
or nicads (about 5x's in my experience), and have a very fast recycle time.
They store just about indefinitely, and work well in extremely cold
temperatures.
