As another data point, my daily driver uses an Optima "yellow top" deep
cycle battery for starting (and everything else).  I just looked up my
shipping confirmation from when I ordered it; I installed it four years ago
and still going strong.

A previous owner had disabled the headlight warning buzzer, and on a few
occasions I've headed to work around dawn, and arrived at work in daylight,
and accidentally left the lights on.  It has been completely discharged at
least 5 times.  The previous two batteries were conventional starting
batteries and lasted about two years each.
