I've bought some very inexpensively and had them show leakage before I even pulled them out of the blister pack.

Asking from ignorance... don't do SR44 batteries leak? That will be a great advantage over alkalines (apart from capacity).

As you say, really cheap LR-44's can leak even before being exhausted or expired...
