I've only batch sparged once in 8 yrs of brewing and my efficiency suffered, so I went back to fly-sparging. My setup for fly sparging results in an efficiency in the low 80's.
I've read all of the pros-cons of both fly and batch sparging. Both will work for your intended purpose. My situation may be different than yours. I brew as a hobby... time is not an issue for me. My brew day typically lasts 5 1/2 to 6 hours for a 10 gallon batch and I enjoy every second of it. My brewday is an escape from the pressures of work and all of the other things that clutter my mind. A few beers, some good music or sports talk radio and making great beer... what more could you ask for?
