One of my worries about lithium is that if you do damage the bank somehow- e.g. faulty charger, or accidental short etc- then you are writing off several thousand pounds worth of batteries. With cheaper batteries, the risk is much lower.
Agree with that , certainly for cruising. Zap the bank and you could be stuffed with a charging system which won't be any use for whatever batteries you can actually lay your hands on locally in some far flung corner of the globe. Pity really, they do have a load of advantages, price not being one..
Might be worth having a location which has enough height for t105's or similar even if you decide on something else, over the decades an awful lot of cruisers have asked the same questions, trojans have ended up being highly regarded on a cruising boat through trial and error over the decades. The long distance cruising crowd are a hard bunch to please
