I need to convert approximately 3500 jpeg2000 4-band NAIP images to GeoTiff format without mosaicing. I have access to ENVI, ERDAS and Arc 10–is there an efficient way to batch convert these files to GeoTIFF while maintaining quality and band integrity?

Recent versions of gdal_translate have support for KML Superoverlay. Although it is not yet documented on the GDAL website the following can be used:
gdal_translate.exe -of KMLSUPEROVERLAY c:\in.tif c:\out.kmz -co FORMAT=JPEG
This will save a tiled version in a kmz file using jpeg compression.
On windows you can automate using
forfiles /m *.tif /c "cmd /c gdal_translate.exe -of KMLSUPEROVERLAY @FILE @FNAME.kmz -co FORMAT=JPEG"
This assumes that the input files are in WGS84.
You can do this using GDAL, it directly supports XYZ format. It doesn't matter if your coordinates are UTM, gdal_translate will output in the same coordinate system.
So to convert to GeoTIFF is as simple as:
gdal_translate test.xyz test.tif
Look at the GeoTIFF doc for output options (such as compression) and the gdal_translate doc for more usage info. In particular, you should specify what the coordinate system is with the -a_srs parameter.
-a_srs srs_def:
Override the projection for the output file. The srs_def may be any of the usual GDAL/OGR forms, complete WKT, PROJ.4, EPSG:n or a file containing the WKT.
gdal_translate -a_srs EPSG:12345 test.xyz test.tif
Comma/space separated and fixed column widths, with and without a header row are supported.
The supported column separators are space, comma, semicolon and tabulations.

The only gotchas I'm aware of are:
- The opening of a big dataset can be slow as the driver must scan the whole file to determine the dataset size and spatial resolution; and
The file has to be sorted correctly (by Y, then X).
Cells with same Y coordinates must be placed on consecutive lines. For a same Y coordinate value, the lines in the dataset must be organized by increasing X values. The value of the Y coordinate can increase or decrease however.

Best Answer
I think that all of listed by you software allow to execute batch converting in some way.
ArcGIS
I can explain how is it possible to perform in ArcGIS.
Erdas
I remember that in Erdas it is also possible to execute commands in batch mode. But it was some time ago and right now I don't have access to this software. Take a look at this document if you prefer to use Erdas.
Open-source solution
Also can recommend trying to use opensource solution: GDAL. Which can be executed in a batch mode by OS tools (in Win - bat, powershell for example).
Take a look at command gdal_translate - this one you need for your task.
Example:
gdal_translate -of GTiff -co COMPRESS=JPEG -co TILED=YES input.jp2 result.tifSet correct (for your case) creation options in
-coparameter.How to run it in a batch mode you can figure from this and this available topics.
