Looking for a recommendation for a good power bank. I've seen many at all power levels and prices. Any help is appreciated.

Looking for a power bank that will give my Note4 about 3 full cycles of power. The way I use my smartphone that would give me about 3 - 4 days of use.

OK. So the OEM battery is 3220mAh and if you want 3 charges out of a power bank then you need a minimum 10000mAh bank (they aren't 100% efficient so you need to go higher than just 3x). And Qualcomm QuickCharge capability works quickest for the Note 4 (QC ver 2). Here is a specific model meeting those specs:

My main reason to not use phone batteries, is that they are specific. Can't take my epic 4g batteries and use the. With my note, won't likely be able to use the note 4 batteries with whatever else comes along. I can charge my tablets, kindle, all the phones, and even in a pinch my surface 3 with the battery packs. Can't do that with a phone specific battery.
That's exactly my reasoning for the original question. I'm not a fan of Amazon, but they do have some nice power banks at a good price. I'll probably go with Anker as they have a choice of quality products.

You can't go wrong with the Anker power banks. I do own and use the one I posted the link for. I use it for my Note 4 and my tablets - iPad Air 2, Nexus 7, and Kindle PaperWhite.
