I think maintenance is more important than battery brand. Case in point my first set of replacement batteries were Trojan 105's. They lasted me 4 years. People told me that was normal because I only dry camp. My second set were Sam's Club batteries which I bought in 2007 and are still good. Do I think Sam's Club is better because they lasted me 14 years and Trojan only lasted 4 years, no, I just learned how to maintain them better. Secondly, I would buy a battery type based on how you camp and your electrical requirements. Folks with high amp loads or full time might may want to pay extra for a Li battery, people who don't want to be bothered with maintenance may go with AGM, people that just go to FHU CG's a 12v battery is good enough. Not everyone needs a 400 AH Li battery and 400 W of solar panels.
