+1 on outback from what I've heard, I was just never able to justify more than xantrex for my purposes. I have found some really really great prices for xantrex on ebay from time to time.
You could use a 24v flavor inverter charger and then use a voltage regulator to take the sloppy battery 24v and regulate it for the 24v powered devices perhaps... This would still offer power for 120vac loads if you have those as well.
