Goahead,
General wisdom: do not to mix batteries.
Then we have reality.
Value of mixing batteries will be based on how much storage you need.
In other words, if you don't have to mix them, then don't!!
Any chance your system can be split? Each using one battery type?
Bulk charging of flooded cell, AGM, Gel are similar, finishing them off for long life is the difference.
Check the charging profiles of each, bit different at the end.
How often the end of charging is reached will impact how long the batteries last.
Bus bars: all military batteries I worked on used bus bars. My battery has bus bars.
Make sure you cover/insulate the bus bars. Don't want to drop a tool on it and see it explode!
Have fun,
Scott.
