The YT channel "Project Farm" does all sorts of comparison tests on a lot of stuff, and he did one video comparing different brands, some of which I'd never heard of. He arrived at the conclusion that lithium was the way to go, that they didn't leak, and offered better performance than any of the alkaline cells that were out there.
Now by "lithium" - do you mean the NON-rechargeable, super-long-life lithium 1.5 V cells?? The ones that cost $20 for a pack of four AA's?

I use those for the outside thermometer so it won't freeze, but I reserve it for that only because they cost so much.

If I'm not mistaken, they are guaranteed to have at least 10 or 15 years of shelf life.

It is unfortunate that there are so many cells and batteries named "lithium" these days.? Some electronics insists "NO lithium batteries!" but of course they are talking about the lithium-ion rechargeables (which are nowhere near 1.5 V), not the non-rechargeable lithium cells (which are about 1.5 V).
