I use old style flooded grp 31's. Inexpensive, and one guy can handle easily. My 8.3l Cummins will start on one down to 40F (not real zippy though), and the second is a backup. I get at least five years out of them.

I don't see enough advantage in the the other battery types to warrant the additional cost.
