It depends on your skill set. I'm experienced with fiberglass so that would be my preference, a 3/4" plywood shelf glassed to the hull. If you change your mind re: battery type, wet lead-acid batteries require ventilation for safety so that may factor into your choice of location. You don't want a hydrogen gas bubble gathering anywhere.
