Best bang for the buck Golf Cart battery

The dealer we are buying our toy hauler from will be putting two golf cart batteries in it tomorrow. I will have to bring the batteries as their battery guy will not be there in time to deliver golf cart batteries. I am looking at two of these from Costco. Does htis seem to be the most cost GC battery?
I was hoping to put 4 in, but do to space, we are only able to fit 2.

    Try to match my 23 year old batteries. Yes they are slowly diminishing in capacity due to antimony poisoning. Cell death due to plate disintegration is faster.

    It is difficult to determine battery quality by difference in life span with two different people.

    It is easier to achieve cell recovery with a higher quality battery. Far easier equalization for instance. Depth of discharge. I suspect Gdetrailer is far more attentive to his batteries than what is the norm.

    My Trojans usually started pooping out after 4 years.. of pretty hard dry camp usage. I didn't buy them to not use them. :)
