Based on my usage of a size 24 deep cycle lead battery, if temps are in the 20's, you'll get about 12 hrs running just the heater fan per battery. 3 size 24's got me on par typical use as 2 size 31's. I prefer the two 31 option. BUT as noted by one poster, carrying a 31 is too much. But they can carry a 24, so the three 24's if they fit in or on the battery tray, would be the better option for that person.
On the other hand, if wieght is really an issue, like is is for some water/land yachts, I saw that a size 24 lithium battery has about the same usable AHr as an 8d battery which is 3-4x heavier. Or about equal to 3 size 31's.
At the end of the day, choose your poison, the only best/worst way is how you use your rig etc.
