Batteries typically last for about 70 hours of 3D TV watching and the rechargeable glasses cost about $10 more so, over time, you are likely to be better off with the rechargeable glasses. Also the rechargeable glasses often come with a case or something to store the glasses in, however that is not always the case.
Sony also offers a 3D glasses synchronization transmitter.
