AGM battery
I heard that a AGM battery is not recommend for 2017 Ford F350 because the alternator will charge them wrong and it short the life of the battery.Anybody know that?

The real question is why bother for a starting battery.
The main advantage of AMG is they don't spill if you roll them over. Great on a boat or a stunt plane...not so much for a starting battery.
I would say the biggest reason is that they are maintenance free. A lot of people these days don't even know how to open the hood.

I haven't seen a car/truck with a starting battery that requires adding water in decades.
Your average traditional lead-acid starting battery is already maintenance free and it's common to get 5-10yrs out of a starting battery.
So what exactly other than a significantly higher purchase price are you getting with an AGM?
PS: Deep cycle house batteries often do require topping up the water.
