Some of your facts are myths.

for normal sized batteries. 2 6vGC batts will have a much longer life than 2 12v batts will
Myth. It depends on how they are cared for. I generally get 10 to 11 years of service from my heavily used battery bank.

2 quality 6vGC batts will give more measurable/advertised amps, and many more usable amphrs than 2 12v deep cycle batts will
Myth. My 12 volt jars are 139 amp-hours each, two yield 278 amp-hours. 6vGC are about 240 amp-hours

wet cell batteries, which have the most affordable initial cost, can last as long as any new tech battery with proper care, and usually does.
Myth. LI for example although costly are already cheaper on a per cycle basis than flooded jars. They may last 5 times as long as a regular flooded jar.

quality batteries are not always at the top of the price range, but its true that a quality battery will outperform a budget battery
Surrette Jars may last 20 years, with proper care. They are not inexpensive. Edison batteries after they are "worn out" only require the electrolyte to be replaced for another life span to happen.
