My suggestion is to find batteries that are easily available from the Wal-Mart when your battery(ies) go "fffttt" while you are a
long way from home.
I used a group 35 battery which is a bit smaller than the factory recommended GM battery. I had problems getting the recommended
battery to fit without getting hit by the nose wheel fork when the gear is retracted in my 173 Elite std fuselage.

Any thoughts on the best batteries to you can buy? Primary and backup?
I think a deep cycle is best for a backup battery since it is made to run over a period of time with a steady drain.
For the primary battery you want strong cranking amps.
Any thoughts on brands? Or models?
