I seldom dry camp. I would most likely get an Interstate, the same brand that came with trailer. I always have used group 27 and got about three years average out of them.

My G27 Interstate is now going into it's 8th year and can still achieve a full charge. I'm almost finished rearranging my trailer tongue, moving the tanks aft with the battery box directly in front of them and although measurements show I could mount a pair of 6 volts I'm going to stick with my current G27 for the time being. A pair of 6 volt GC-2s would certainly offer far more reserve capacity but one thing many fail to mention when recommending them is how you're going to properly recharge them, such that you do get the most longevity out of them. Fact is, there are an awful lot of trailers these days equipped with the ubiquitous WFCO converter which does a pretty poor job, often not even going into it's bulk charging rate @ 14.4 volts. I've owned several and I know none of them ever have ... not much of an issue for me since we don't dry camp often but certainly a drawback for anyone investing in a pair of GC-2s that demand proper care if you're going to get the most out of them. In your case I think you've made the right choice.
