Connclark - A deep cycle can start an engine fine. It just outputs less burst current, so you need a somewhat bigger battery than you would with a starting battery. Starting engines off marine deep cycles is common in boats. A dual purpose starting/deep cycle like an Optima yellow or an Odyssey will work fine as well.
