After going through the same debate, we switched to AGM's last spring. So far so good.
We don't dry camp and I'm not afraid to use the generator so spending the extra money for lithium or even top line AGM just didn't make sense for me. On the other hand, My battery bay was an absolute disaster from previous owner's issues with cooked lead acid batteries so a sealed AGM was easy for me to justify. I would like to never have to clean that up again.
I found 8d AGM'S on sale in Milwaukee area for $300 this spring so that was a pretty easy decision for me.
