Lithium ion appears to be all around better than lead acid aside from price, cold preformance, cold charging and ease of replacement.
Also lithium batteries do not appear to be recycled in the US.
In my diesel suburban I was going through 1 or 2 starting batteries per year, didn't seem to matter if I was daily driving or weekend only driving it. It's had the same lithium battery since late 2012.
As far as wrecked Nissan leafs go I have only ever seen them go for 2000 to 3000 on ebay. There may be 1000 ones out there but they would have to be totally trashed.
