If you have room for a deck mount stand alone converter, that would be the best and easiest way to go.
Hard to beat this price.

What exactly is a deck mount stand alone converter? Are the breakers seperate? Excuse me for my lack of knowledge as I'm still learning.

That's a pic of where my breakers are, and I'm assuming my converter. I'm not sure how to check if I have enough room.
You have a Power Center type converter/charger. A deck mount converter/charger doesn't have the individual circuit breakers and fuses, only a connection to the battery.
It is possible to convert the Power Center converter/charger to a deck mount converter charger.
Progressive Dynamics Deck Mount Converter
There are also upgrade kits for the power center converters
6300 and 7300 converter upgrade
Is there a link or something you can shoot my way that explains the advantages/disadvantages of deck mount vs power Center?
Also my starting battery will stay as a Flooded 12volt. Having AGM house battery bank and a Flooded starting battery is safe, right? Also is having an isolater worth it?
The main advantage of the deck mount converters is the ease of installation and the number of different sizes and a couple of manufacturers.
