| Current consumption in a sailplane with that assortment of electronics shouldn't be a worry when it comes to battery packs. How much do you want your pack to weigh, should be the determining factor.
Years ago when I flew my Olympic II 2-meter sailplane, it wasn't uncommon for the glider folk to use 225 mah flight packs in their systems. Unless you plan on a lot of thermaling, or using your servos like mad in a sailplane the standard 500 or 600mah flight pack should be more than sufficient. At that rate, you could make yourself a flight battery using four 800 mah or greater AAA NiMh cells. It would be small, lightweight, and run for a long long time.
