What sort of battery life could I expect using one of their accounts compared to what I've seen with the above options? Are there any other options I've missed?

Get a mail2web account for $1.99 a month. Forward your gmail.
Under your settings in mail2web on the site, setup an SMTP Proxy so that your outgoing email address is Gmail (or whatever email you want).
Imap is more effeicient than Pop3. Exchange is more effecient than IMAP.
There is about 3% battery consumption per hour with Exchange email using Push, which is a lot better than using an auto-fetch (every X mins).
Furthermore, skip Agile messenger and go with
Verichat which uses and SMS relay to keep you online vs. the "always on connection" of Agile. This will also save battery life. Agile consumes a lot of battery power if left on all day.
