Replacement Battery

It's time to replace my battery. 202113'

I've looked through various threads but don't see any very recent ones. Hence this question. 

My camping this far has always included power but I'd like to do some modest boondocking 2-3 days. Needs would be LED lights, Maxx fan in warmer weather and fan on the heater in colder nights. I don't do winter camping but in the mountains, nights can get cold even in warmer weather. 

I have a group 27 battery now. I've checked and the converter does not support lithium. 

I'm looking at a couple of 100ah AGM batteries and trying to figure out why some cost so much more than others. 

Here are a couple on Amazon

Thoughts? 
Thanks

Battery

I'm totally a fan of Lithium and have had twin 100ah Battleborns, solar, inverter for 5 years now. Lowest I've ever been was 60% and they can go all the way down. We boondock all the time for weeks and months at a time and only have to come in for tanks and propane. It's been in on our RV pad at our house for over a month now, never plugged in, and it's still at 100% daily.

I'd definitely look at AGM's over the standard marine battery, but Lithium's are the best and I'm covered for 10 years with Battleborn. I think they may go much longer.
