Wii. What is the best stand/charger

Options
Hi I've bought a wii for my children for christmas and I would like to know what is the best stand/charger to get that holds the wii and controls. I've seen 3 on Amazon, Wii turbo charge cooler, remote charging stand & a power station.

Could somebody help please

    Having said that I've just seen a couple of posts warning against these so will probably go for rechargable batteries instead.

    We went for rechargable batteries instead. As far as I am aware none of the stands are made by Nintendo and they have been known to cause problems.

    we just have a decent quality charger that will charge four AAs in 15 minutes and a set of eight batteries so we've always got four in use and four ready.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    WE got one last January from Argos a twin charger. It came with 4xAAA batteries you had to remove the old back where the batteries go and replace it with a new one which the AAA batteries laid in. We doint use the rubber remote thing either as it wont fit when its on the remote to charge

    Had no problem other than after a while the batteries went flat when you didn't use it. So if you don't use it for a week or so it may need the wii turned on to allow the batteries to charge. The wii can then be turned off after but the batteries will still charge up, it takes about an hour to charge batteries up

    Because they use AAA they are not as powerful as AA rechargeable too
