Acid leakage is not an issue unless you turn the batteries upside down
We have a combination of wet cell and AGM batteries on our boat (15 batteries, including a couple of 8D AGM, a couple of 8D wet cell, 12V wet cell, and ten 6V wet cell), and have been out in rough seas (try 28 feet broadside) with no acid spill or leakage.
Bottom line, I wouldn't buy batteries based on potential acid leakage.
