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.

My understanding is that a higher plate surface area reduces voltage drop for a given load.
So for a fixed amount of lead, you can go either for dense plates and long life times (like GC2s), or thin, multiple plates with more surface area that can generate more current with less voltage drop (like marine/rv). Or you can compromise somewhere in between.
The no compromise solution is to have lots of lead, enough so you can have both, dense plates and lots of surface area (6-8 GC2s for example). Long life and little V sag under load.
