Yeah, the deep cycle will be fine being charged by the alternator. If I have a trip too long I'll be using the alternator. As I progress with this thread, I'll be installing a switch to turn the alternator on and off. I haven't determined exactly how I'm doing that quite yet, but that is one of the next steps.
A solar panel has generally been considered a poor way to charge the battery though, they just don't put out enough power to be worth the cost. It is a very cool idea though.
