Update. I went with 4-6V Costco batteries. Made by interstate. 208AH each, so a total of 416AH. $83.99 each. For what I do I think they'll do the trick. Still looking at solar as well. But won't do anything till next year.
Thanks again for all the feed back.
Good call.
I didn't see anyone raise the issues, but if you use 6v batteries in series, it's much safer to have four than two. If any one battery poops out, you'll still have a good pair of functioning batteries and everything will run OK. But with just two, if one dies, you don't have a 12v system anymore and you're sunk.
