AGM batteries - are they better?
Upgrade to an AGM battery. You can safely mount them inside, and upside down, and they will out-perform any flooded battery you ever owned! Here's a quote from another thread. It's typical of other...

The two 7-year-old 100 amp hour 12 volt AGM batteries in our motorhome are Interstate DCM0100L wheelchair batteries ... which are no longer carried in the Interstate line.
I'll probably replace them with a couple of these superior replacement (120 amp hours, each) AGM batteries, since they're about the same size and have the same recommended 13.5V-13.7V float voltage requirement ... and hence will not require me to get rid of the RV's stock Parallax 7345 ~13.8V fixed voltage converter that has taken care of my current AGM batteries so well over the years ... the 20% increase in amp hour capacity (from 200AH to 240AH) will be a nice bonus, too:

BTW, IMHO it would probably be best to think about dispensing with the no-longer-true comments about AGM batteries being of a lot less capacity than FLA batteries of about the same weight.
