Abuse is a separate issue. Under- or Over-charging, over-temperature. Excessive charge rate.
Maintenance meaning FLA loses water over time, so you have to check water level and add.
Also, check specific gravity with a hygrometer and perform an equalizing charge when needed.
For a large enough bank, FLA could save you money over its lifetime.
For a small enough bank, AGM could save you time (at the expense of some money.)
Why do you think you'll have to replace a lead-acid battery every year?
Number of cycles typically ranges from 300 to 8000, depending on type, brand, depth of discharge.
If someone designs a lead-acid bank for off-grid, able to get by 3 days without sunshine, most of the time it won't cycle deeply. It could last 10 to 20 years.
Some FLA batteries may be good for 10 or more years of nightly deep cycling.
If you expect to cycle near 100% every day or multiple times per day, then LiFePO4 may serve you better.
