A deep cycle battery is designed for a fairly small / mid amp load, but can better stand deep (50% or lower) discharges without damage.
A marine battery is kind of a hybrid, in that it can supply cranking amps for a mid size engine, yet take deep discharges like a deep cycle battery, but at lower capacity for a given size, compared to a truc deep cycle.
A car / truck starting battery is designed for very high cranking amps, but is normally not discharged more than 10% or less during a normal start. Deep discharges will warp the plates in a starting battery and cause failure after a dozen or so deep discharges.
I run a 12,000 pound lectric winch on a trailer that I power with a the largest Deep cycle flooded cell battery they had. weighs about 70 pounds. I dont use it a lot, but the battery has held up to this use for 3 years now. Winching 3 7000 pound tractors up on the trailer will leave the battery at about 75% charge. I dont have wiring to recharge it on the truck, just recharge it with a smart charger at home when parked.
Considering your use, a deep cycle or marine battery may still be your best choice, as a starting battery does not normally live long with deep discharges.
