IMHO gels are superior to AGM if you have the correct charging systems for them. If you do go AGM, *by far* the cheapest way is getting GRP 31 AGMs from Sam's Club. They are relabeled Dekas and thus identical to West Marine AGMs for literally half the price. Lifeline will be a LOT more money and unless you are really on top of the special AGM requirements, won't last very long anyway.

I am presently using Interstate #31 Deep cell (2 house, 1 for start). Looking to go AGM route and seeking advice for which manufacturer/brand seems to be most reliable and longevity for the money. Leaning toward Lifeline after some research. Very open to other recommendations based on experience. I use a couple solar cells for trickle charging as on a mooring. Thanks for your advice.
