Need to replace some AA rechargeable.  Are Eneloops still the go-to ones?

I'm using them in my underwater strobes. I rely on them because I can't just stop and replace if they die on me.  So far they have been flawless.  Mine are 3-4 years old and still ticking.  About every five years or so I swap them out and get new ones, mainly for the reason I pointed out above.
