Being on a core i5 sandybridge mobile processor, I have the option to have dual core, hyperthreading, or both enabled. Which should be disabled to lengthen the battery life and still have decent performance?

I think you'll find that if you focus on the display settings (brightness, and sleep after inactivity) as well as power settings for the hard drive, you'll have a lot of opportunity there to conserve battery life.
With regard to CPU, I would suggest you try the various configurations. I don't beleive that you'll find those options will make a noticeable impact on battery life.

Adjusting the CPU and memory speed downward will help a great deal. Depending upon your power settings, both Linux and Windows will do this for you automatically when on battery power.
