I was just wondering if the Trojans vs. the Costco will give me more juice?

Not enough of an amp-hour difference to notice IMO. if you were a full or part timer that lived off-grid, I would probably recommend the Trojans as you may get more cycles from them. But for us weekend warriors, in most cases, we don't camp enough to see the difference. Now you are talking to someone that spent a fair chunk of change on some monster Trojan batts and I don't full or part time. :)

Any comments on the shelf life of the GC2 batteries from Costco? One Costco has the batteries dated 8/12 (It's March 20th today), the other near me has them dated 12/12.

You might be able to get away with the 12/12's but I would say they'll need some work and may have already lost some of their capacity. I'd try to find some batts no more than a month or two old.
