WalMart Everstarts are probably the best bang for the buck if you don't want to lay out a lot of cash at once. If you can swing it, go lithium's and you'll never look back.

I will say I juuuuuuuust had my 36v 40AH Lithium pros battery fail. It is over 15 yrs old and been in 5 boats.... great service life....probably had close to 15,000 hours of hard use and 3000- 4000 or so charge cycles. I am a full time guide and these things get hard hard use. It's been great to not have to think about it for 15 years.

Thanks guys for the info. Looks like I'll be spending more than I wanted but every thing I read says it's worth it.
