Bars are probably the best way, if you can make/find them in the right size. I made my own bars by taking 18AWG wire, stripping off the insulation, and filling it up with solder until it got stiff. Then cut the "bar" to size and solder the cells together.
Braid would be OK if you glued the cells together, but I don't know if it would be more or less conductive than a good battery bar.
I've used braid and it works great jet, just do as color says and put a lot of solder into it to stiffen it, chop it to size and solder it on. It helps to roughen the battery ends with sandpaper and use flux if you have it to pre-tin the ends w/o heating the battery up as much.
I like shoo goo for assembling the pack otherwise, but you don't need it if you do the braid/bars right (but can't hurt either).
I used wire... but glued my batts together before assembly. I saw on PNs MRCG, that he used the motor terminal eyelets instead of bars/wire. Looks like a good idea if you have a few spare motor wires...

The Ice should be a good choice. What batteries are you using? I charge around 1A for my 900mah cells. Generally, you only want to charge at 1C, which is 1xCapacity, so a 900mah cell should be charged at .9A.
The Orion 750mah SHO cells should be charged at .5A.
I have never used the Ice charger, so I cannot fill you in on the smaller details of the charge settings.
