This is actually the "open a can of worms" type of question, so it's not dumb at all.

Then there's the battery construction. Flooded Lead Acid (FLA) are the most durable, but require frequent regular maintenance of the acid level to achieve long life. Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) are maintenance free, but require an AGM-tailored charging system. They also cost extra. Worth it, in my opinion. There are other types of deep cycle batteries, but I choose to ignore them.
