Best deep cycle ?

Beemerphile is correct about AGM batteries not being the best solution for everyone. I am sorry if he or anyone are insulted - I backed up my experience and findings with links all the way. Sometimes the difference between long-term cost efficiency and "I want it right now" is the money that pays the fees at the campground or puts gas in the tank for the next campout. The references in my posts are legitimate charts from real-world experience of a lit of people (like myself) who have been buying flooded batteries for decades and are taking an open-minded look at anything out there that's better in our price point. I chose an AGM over flooded and after 6 years of use and abuse, I'd be "wearing blinders" if I went back to flooded batteries again. If you're happy with your flooded batteries, great. If you find something in my referenced links that's not correct, even better! I learn the same way everyone else on this forum does - one opinion and experience at a time. :)
