battery holder? i thought of just using gorillamaxx velco straps w/ some kind of padding, but see a bunch of guys build actual housings.

For 4s, a regular UBEC is just fine. They are typically rated for 3A, which is more than enough unless you are using some really high torque/speed servos and/or using multiple servos. However, a good 3A UBEC is about as pricey as the CCBEC, so why not go with the higher capacity one? The high voltage capability is good if you decide to go with a HV setup in the future, but otherwise is not really needed.
Straps work good for battery holders, but some of us are quite hard on our vehicles and want something a little more sturdy. Depending on how the straps are set up, the pack could still slide around. Making your own holders lets you size them exactly as you want, keep them from sliding around, and can provide more protection from stray rocks and such. Plus, it's cooler to have something custom.
