Questioner 1: I am looking for cells that will do well in an offroad vehicle, what should I buy?
Answerer: The nylon cased cells, and frey/fortune cells are well suited for this application, the build quality is more robust and substantial. Additionally, it is recommended in the marinre world, and buy at least one battery manufacturer to use cells less than or equal to 200Ah and ideally around 100Ah if you are designing for high vibration and/or mechanical shocks.

Questioner 3: I am looking for well matched grade A cells, I want quality, I don't care if it costs a little more, what/where should I buy?
Answerer: If grade A well matched cells are your priority, you should buy through official channels from a manufacturer that either sells retail directly (like Frey or EVE) or sells through authorized/legitimate distributors/retailers like CALB, Winston, Frey, GBS. This is the only way I am aware of to be confident in the quality and grade of the cells you receive. Be prepared to pay a little more grade A cells and matched cells cost more than the cheap grey market cells popular here. Be aware that the grey market sellers on Alibaba selling discount cells at grade B prices, call virtually all cells matched and grade A, so its not worth much to get those assurances, in reality many of these cells even those sold by popular sellers are not grade A and certainly not matched cells.
Questioner: Thanks, I ended up buying 280Ah commodity cells from Shenzhen Grey-Market-Seller Energy Co. Ltd., have you heard of them? are they trustworthy? They assured me that they are matched Grade A cells so I guess I got a good deal.
