Both batteries should be the same for maximum effect and lifespan

mine are twin Yuasa YBX5110's, £98 each with trade discount at Motex, 800amp 85AH each

was offered the Bosch S5 equivalent at £140 each, but already have the Yuasas on other 2 vans, and found to be an excellent performer, although i do have the Bosch S5 on my car and no complaints

The disadvantage is that if you leave your lights on you'll flatten both batteries. That can't happen with the factory twin battery set up
