Ipod touch docking station advice

Is it safe to buy an Ipod docking station as the ipod battery would be charging (or overcharging?) whilst docked??

If I just go for a wall charger is it best to get a generic one or the Apple one??

I know some cheap adaptors are unregulated and the output flucturates badly!!!

    I must say, I bought the Apple one when I had an iPhone a couple years ago. I have just got a new Touch yesterday (Damn those Angry Birds made me do it haha) and am using it on that

    Nice because you can plug some speakers into the back if wanted

    I do not remember having trouble with the battery on the iPhone, but look forward to see if anyone else has a comment, as I am using it to charge up also

    I think official products would be fine, but id be wary of something unofficial from a brand that you havent heard of
