COST is not the issue, weight is

Lightest batteries for a given power are usually lithium.
Where from depends on where you are.
 
Batteries.com is a pretty good website for buying all sorts of batteries:

Li-Poly battteries are the lightest for the amount of energy stored. You'll need a special charger. Mis-charged, Li-Poly batteries will explode.
