You didn't have to worry about memory effect PERIOD. Most people never saw memory effect in their NiCads and more people killed NiCad packs deep discharging them trying to avoid memory effect.
NiMH is less prone to self discharge but they still have relatively low internal resistance and that can happen.

If that's the case, is there any reason to prefer NiMH?

NiMH has better energy density so it's going to last longer than the same size NiCad pack. Of course, it's more likely to burst into flames, so you have to balance that.

I’m not sure where I said I would be flying IMc at night?? I fly at night at time. And will be IFR certified. No where did I discuss my personal minimums.

Okay, I misunderstood then.
