I would run 9.6v 4000mAh if you have space for it.
It will give you a very nice trigger response, on par with 7.4v LiPo.

as long as they're at the same charge, it should last a while
a "pro battery shop" in winnipeg fucked me by not balancing the cell they added to my pack back when I ran a custom 9.6 mini for a PEQ. Dicks.
And it's somewhat misleading, a 7.4 generally has slightly less ROF than a 9.6 mini, but that's not always true either.
Highly dependent on your setup and motor. Basically, the more the NiMH pack starves the motor of amperage, the better the 7.4v will perform.
Generally on a stock gun, a 9.6 mini will be just a bit better than a 7.4 lipo.
Let's say the 9.6 mini nets you 950rpm, the 7.4 lipo will be around 850rpm
The large cell NiMH will provide a lot more amperage, usually all the amperage the motor needs, so let's say the 9.6 large nets you 1200rpm, and will always be faster than a 7.4v lipo. Tradeoff being you need a mosfet to prevent the 9.6 from melting your trigger, and they're much more expensive.
Back to the mini packs, if you throw in high speed gears and a nice torque motor, maybe the 9.6 NiMH mini won't even be able to turn the gun over, whereas the 7.4 lipo might do 1200rpm
