battery help

I am looking at getting some batteries that will make my 28 mile commute.  I have a prestolite MTC4001, and a curtis 1231C, in the old style bug.  I would like to run between 120 v and 144 v, because of the DC-DC I have.  I would like to have some battery recommendations.  I have heard the suggestion that T-105 would be good, but that might be getting a bit on the heavy side for my car.  I think that I could fit 1200 lbs of batteries.  I at one point considered 30 XHS, but saw on the evalbum, someone had a bad experience.  Does anyone else have any experience?  I have heard that some have bad experience with the 8V batteries, but others like it.

My requirements:  28 mile commute consistent for the next 4 months.  After that, it will be no more than 10 miles.  But occasionally I would still like to be able to drive the 30 miles or so.

What are good batteries to use.  And if you know of good prices, I would appreciate that as well.

Thanks,
Brian
