I have a deep cycle marine from Sam's that really takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. I like it so well and it's lasted so long that I bought another last fall. They've been sitting in the boat all winter in sub-zeri weather. I hooked them up to the trolling motors last week and they spin like a top. Best of all ... they are the best Sammy's has and they only cost 65 bucks. Just for info and not to disagree, all the reading I've done on batteries says not to use the Starter/Deep Cycle batteries. One is built for high amps when starting and the other is designed for slower discharge and can be harmed when used as a starting battery. The double duties aren't supposed to last as long as a battery engineered for a single purpose. I've only had one double duty which wasn't anything like the Yellow battery mentioned above, so don't have any on the ground experience with the high dollar model.
