It's easy to build the packs, it's cheaper, and you can build them in whatever funny shapes you want :)

Serum - where did you get those cells?!

If you're running huge currents then i would imagine you want some big LiPo or LiMn cells. Apogee are selling 3S packs 3800mah 20C packs - thats 76Amps.

If you ran 4 of those, you'd have nearly 3.5Kw of power to play with...

I was speaking to the guy and he said the average loaded voltage is 3.8 and they have a lower internal resistance so run cooler and the voltage doesn't drop as much under load...perhps you should think about using those?

Sounds like a great project - good luck.
