Well, here, let me explain why I got BB batteries. In my situation BB were the best choice considering how long they're expected to last, given proper care, reliability and safety considerations. Yes, FLA, AGM are cheaper but considering how many I'd go through over the estimated system lifetime they're cheap. And....considering [the high current and future] inflation, the rise in prices over the next 5 years will make the BB's look cheap. Also, BB batteries are domestically made so I didn't have to deal with ships anchored off of california...while waiting and waiting.
BB does a very good job in promoting their batteries and the benefits of same. Most FLA makers don't do anything similar and thus "I voted with my money".
BB does a very good job in providing technical assistance.
