   Gel batteries should be fine for this application too, if you aren't 
doing 
   tractor pulls or whatever, and don't need the huge peak currents that 
AGM 
   can supply. 

I would not use gel if you have a snowblower.  I think the sudden
current every time you turn it on would be bad for the batteries.  But if
treated with care, Deka gel batteries have a very long life.
