There are always limitations/constraints to "the best". Some of the limitation in any RV may be cost, installation space available and weight.
Best durability/life is probably nickel-iron (NiFe). VERY HEAVY. Requires a lot of spaces. Not cheap. These will out last even LiFePO4.
LiFePO4 are probably the most expensive, but lighter weight and long life.
Lead acid (including AGM). If you want reasonable life, you must use REAL deep cycle batteries. The most commonly available, and "best bang for the buck" are GC2 golf cart batteries. As OptPara mentioned, there are very FEW 12 volt deep cycle batteries. They are expensive and you will like have to special order them. If you really hate "flooded" lead acid batteries, there are AGM GC2 batteries available. Much less common and more expensive.
For LiFePO4, Battle Born is one of the better brands.
For Lead acid, either Trojan or Rolls.
TY.
