Best value IMO is Costco or Sam's Club.
Costco is rated 208 and I believe Sam's has a 208 or a Gold 232 for a few more $$.
Sam's 232 gets my vote 464 amp hours vs 400 in your group 27.
Just make sure it has 3 fill caps. You would not be the first to bring home an 8 volt golf car battery.
The real benefit is that GC2 is that they are specifically designed for deep cycling. (starting a generator is not an issue)
Also the GC2 stay better balanced because you just have 2 parallel vs 4 parallel with Group 27. Half as many cells to water at maintenance time.
