Not really. It all depends on what you want.
Flooded cell lead acid batteries can work fine if you maintain them by checking periodically and adding water if necessary and rarely run them down below 50%.
I used AGMs because I liked the no maintenance and the price for the Windynation AGMs wasn't that much higher than an equivalent lead acid G31 battery.
If you need more than 100 amp hours of usable capacity then lithium batteries can do that for you. A pair of G31 lithium batteries has about 200 amp hours of usable capacity, double that of equivalent size FLA or AGM batteries. The only downside is the need to upgrade the charger to fully charge them but that can have the added benefit of increased charging rate.
So all are acceptable depending on what you want.
