I do agree connecting Wet with AGM, not the best idea
As for "Balanced configuratrion"

Assuming you use common 4GA starter cable, which is super good for batteries in parallel (or series) unless you are using major power (in which case upgrade to multi-zero) the imbalance will not be anything you can measure.
Now if you are sucking MAJOR amps (IE: the 200+ of my 2,000 watt inverter) THEN balancing may be important... But for "normal" RV use.. not.
That has not been my experience. I had a MH that had a 1500 Watt inverter. The batteries were balanced for the RV but whoever installed it hooked it up on one battery. Care to guess what battery failed first? How about a Ford powerstroke? The battery on the passenger side fails first? another example of an unbalanced battery system.
Oh and the inverter in the RV ran a 5 channel DVD stereo and 19" LCD
So it never saw a high load.
