AWS datapipeline is likely the best solution for a longer running batch that gets run 3-4 times a day.

It's definitely an option. Wrapped services are almost always more expensive, so careful attention to pricing details is needed.

The bulk of the cost here is usually on the EC2 side. The main extra cost is the price it takes your runner EC2 instance(s) to bootstrap - ie usually about 2-3 minutes. Can be mitigated by using prepaid discounts, etc.
