your talking about spending thousands of dollars for lithium
lithium is not heavy, it can be bulky, 100amphrs of 24v can take more space than 100 ampHrs of lead, but they are very light weight
but they do not lend themselves to extra batteries being carried around and jumpered, they have very strict battery management protocols and built in cell balancing, special charge requirements
although effective use, do to deeper discharge capability, means 200ampHrs of Lith
can supply the same use as approx 300ampHrs lead acid, where it is better to NOT discharge below 50%
you can take Lith down to 20%
in a have to make do all the way dead situation, i would take the 300amphrs of lead acid
also you can't charge cold lith batteries, no cold weather camping unless you have heat blankets for the lith batteries
a lot of stuff to think about
