Lots of options.

First thing I would look at is your budget. One of the "best" options would be to simply replace your charger/inverter, upgrade your engine alternator, and invest in a new set of fireflies. That certainly wouldn't fit my budget.

Second thing to ask yourself is whether you have the access and temperament to take care of wet cells. If so, consider replacing the house bank with golf carts. That is typically one of your cheapest options for $/ah. Plus, your older chargers should be able to handle those just fine.

In addition of course, I would look at solar options for keeping your batteries up.
