For only two panels I would wire them in parallel and forget the MPPT controller.
My recommendations:
Tr-Star TS-45 Controller
Magnum MS2012 inverter
Bogart TM-2030 Battery Monitor
2 Crown 6v batteries wired in series
These are good recommendations. However, if going with a Magnum inverter, I would use the Magnum BMK battery monitor instead of the Bogart Trimetric. They are both good, but the Magnum has more options and integrates with the inverter remote (so less to install).
Crown batteries are very good, but if you are looking for a less expensive quality battery, take a look at Fullriver.
Chad, good points sir. I actually have both the TM-2030 and the Magnum MC-RC50 remote because it allows me the option of turning the inverter off remotely if I wish.
