Cylindrical Li-ions (AA or AAA) ussually have a little pocket at one end that ruptures and cuts power and keeps them from exploding, making them somewhat safer...

Li-ions supply less current, but they are less costly, and fit Gen1's better, and the AAA's fit the Evo and EvoT's better.

Both need a specialty charger....

Li-ion is for mild motors and mods.
Li-Poly is for "hot" motors and mods, as they supply more current...

Hope that helps.
wow I was about to ask about the differences about the batteries, but you beat me to it...lol. I believe this should be posted for future references!!!
