I'm leaning toward just getting the 80Ah group 24 battery. It'll give me my ~1hr of run time without abuse which is still more than I need for nearly all my driving. Mostly I want that because it'll drop right in, and I have a nice 5A onboard charger for it already.

The other options are all superior function wise, but cost a fair amount more and will require additional modification.

I'd be willing to go with over 50% dod with lead, but not often at all.
