IMHO that is a loaded question.
If... your equipment (Regulators, Solar Controllers etc...) are all configured for "those" batteries then it might be easier to replace like for like.  If you go with another brand I would check the charging specs and make sure all the equipment is setup for the new batteries.  Quick check shows those are 6V golf cart batteries.
I just replaced my batteries and the last thing I wanted to do was damage them because I didn't setup the charging systems to match the battery specs.  All manufactures should provide specs.
Other than that (Proper charge specs met)  I am not sure it really matters.  If you are doing it yourself many people care more about how heavy the batteries are so they can manipulate them without help.
FWIW.



Thanks,

 I currently have 4 Trojan T-105 T2 batteries - two for house and two
for starter. I have two 100 watt solar panels charging all four
batteries and managed by a MPPT regulator. This configuration is an
adjustment by the previous owner to the original battery configuration
of one for house/one for starter. My batteries have run their life and
need to be replaced. Need recommendations on what to replace them
with. Do I keep the configuration I have now or return to the original
configuration of only two larger batteries? Recommendations on which
batteries to buy - please - Thank you. Thoughts - GO!!
