There is a bunch of write-ups on marine batteries at Maine Sail’s website. Including some recommendations regarding the manufacturers and also how many cycles (discharge/charge) you can expect from some of them.
If I recall correctly, the golf cart batteries have heavier plates (more lead) are deeper (hence they may not fit in all battery lockers, but have more electrolyte over the plates so even some serious heeling does not affect them) and can sustain substantially more cycles than just about anything else. But they require some modifications to your set-up and usually they are more expensive.

No complaints here whatsoever. They perform as they should. Ryan _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
