I am going against the trend.
The deep cycle has 2x the CCA so it is much better for starting than the other.
It contains thicker plates so should last much longer.
The standard batteries go flat much quicker if lights are left on. The thing I always look at is the weight of the battery, the heavier generally is the one with more lead & so will take more discharge before damage.
These days batteries normally are supplied as dry charge ~ the acid is added just before installation. A battery dry stored will last for years without deterioration. If it has sat on the shelf with acid in it the stop watch has been ticking.
