9v will work just fine, and the single 9v battery takes up much less space. BUT, if you do have the internal space available, definately use a 12v supply. You will get a brighter blade, and longer runtime, even if you just use AAA batteries. But, if you can, go with AA's.
12 volt is the best way to go. You could do a setup with four 3 volt lithiums if space was an issue.
You could also run it at 18volts if you need the extra push.
