Some Wii controllers eat batteries -- some don't?

I don't think so, the instructions say the Wiimote in the box is already configured to player 1. If you get a 2nd controller you have to press the sync key on the Wiimote and the console and then press 2 to assign it to player 2.

Huh? Really? But there isn't a 3 or 4 button when you get your third and fourth controllers?

I thought the same as Yoda. Every time I start the Wii, whichever controller I happen to press A on first becomes first player.

Yeah, it's assigned every bootup.

And the sync button is only used for emergencies. You should be able to connect with just the 1 and 2 buttons.
