Trying to compare different batteries is like comparing different women. Each has different attributes which have different weight to different people. For instance, lithium batteries are extremely expensive and have quirks that some folks simply will not put up with. Others pshaw the cost and work around the weak points, reveling in the battery strong points.
A big negative of flooded batteries is the flood. They age get antimony poisoning and get gas like the cowboy campfire scene in Blazing Saddles. Nobody likes the damage the acid causes.
Strong and weak points. Lied about, over and under-emphasized by battery marketers as determined by their aggressive advertising. Put your trust in putting forth single questions on this forum -- an exaggeration gets called-on fast.
