Batteries Lead Acid vs AGM

Since we are new to RVing I have questions for which I appreciate all comments. Would like opinions on using AGMs or lead acid for House Batteries bearing in mind that AGM's like to be charged at about 14 vdc while lead acid likes around 13 volts

    It would help to know a little about your situation as far as budget, camping style and energy needs. For example if you mostly camp during the summer at campgrounds with hookups an $80 marine battery would be all you need. In that case an expensive AGM would be a waste of your money.
