2 12 volt batterys or 2 6 volt
what gives me the most bang for my money. every other rig that I have bought always had 6 volt battery's but the new one has 2 12 volt. not sure what works better.

While I agree that a pair of 12V batteries with the same amp hour ratings as the 6V batteries would make the inverter happier, the 6V system works, and is less expensive.
I just compared 3 US Battery 12V GC12s (12V XC2) with 4 of their 6V GC2s (2200 XC2). Both are deep cycle Golf Cart batteries.
The 3 GC12s have almost the same total Ah and weight as the 4 GC2s, but locally the price of the GC12s is substantially less.
You could do the same with Duracell's GC2 versus GC12s at SAMS or the Trojan equivalents wherever. But I don't think that the GC2s are necessarily cheaper than the GC12s.
3 of those 12V GC12s are looking like a pretty good upgrade, for us anyway.
