Go back and double-check your notification settings in Messages. Getting double notifications from both Messages & Handcent is exactly what happens when notifications are not disabled in Messages.

You shouldn't have to force kill the Messages program to avoid the battery drain bug. And killing it is futile because it just starts back up again. I'm only guessing, but it may be part of the core system that handles text messages. If you're using something like Auto Task Killer to keep shutting it down, you're going to have similar battery drain issues since you're forcing it into a kill loop.
