Halfords yuasa black batteries have lifetime warranty not cheap but may be worth looking at

I had one of these in my previous MH which I sold about a year ago. I have bought another for the new to us MH. Worked well, being a GEL it can be discharged down to 20% without any problems. Almost like having two wet type batteries.

Should mention you will need to check if your solar panel controller and chargers can handle GEL batteries

Rolls and Banner not same quality like Bentley and Ford .

This thread is worth a read before buying a battery

I haven't used Banner leisure batteries but I did buy one for each of our three cars. One packed up after 18 months which was replaced without question. But for me that was a 33% failure. The other two have gone on for the last four years and are still going strong. I think it comes down to the quality control. If your lucky they will work fine but a 33% chance you might get a duff one.
With the 110 amp Gel I find it works fine for me and one leisure battery is sufficient. A 110 wet battery leaves me with a flat battery over night, especially if the heating is on.

The post by @nickvanbitz pretty much sums it up , how much do you use and what do you want to pay . The Rolls battery is like the Trojan , but costs. Its your decision and how you justify . The other factor is space and payload. The Trojan is 28kg and you need two for 12v .

I'm led to believe these are quite good for £77.00 delivered:
