For general household use, most people do not need an impact driver. A decent drill is a lot less expensive than a decent impact driver. However, a set is usually a much better buy- if anything, never buy an impact driver on its own. The accompanying drill is typically nearly free.
This set is a retardedly good value:

I certainly wouldn't recommend against 18v or lithium ion, but don't consider them must-haves. My Li-Ion batteries hold a charge longer than my NiMH ones, but that's it. Both have been plenty durable, and NiMH is typically seen in higher capacities, if that matters to you. With two batteries, it really shouldn't. They will charge faster than you can use them.
Ignore the urge to go all Tim Taylor and buy the biggest, heaviest thing possible. I love my small Makitas and use them almost exclusively.
