Answer :
Yes there are some factors to take in to consideration when comparing fast charging versus slow charging, but basically as long as you have a good quality cbattery harger that does not literally fry your batteries, it all boils down to your needs and preference.

Basically to use a simple analogy, fast charging is sort of like when you drive your car at higher speeds, you get to your destination faster but there is a little more wear and tear on your vehicle. However on the other hand when you drive your car slower you will get to your destination a little latter with less wear and tear on your vehicle. But in the end the differences won't matter much.
NiMH rechargeable batteries, like your car, will normally have a longer useful life if they are not abused, and are charged using a good quality battery charger, whether or not it is a fast or slow type battery charger. As for the number of charges you can expect between the two this is very difficult to say.
