My personal experience with motor home batteries......
Two smaller 12V batteries will not perform better over time compared to one larger battery. They will when new, but year number 2 will have noticeable degradation. Year number 3, they will be working against each other. Indication of battery mismatch will show up as acid boil-overs.
I do feel that two 6V batteries of a smaller size will perform better than a single 12V battery of a larger size.
