No experience with the Bass Pro one, but these are pretty decent:

As with everything from Cabelas, they go on sale periodically so if you don't need it right away you can wait a while to get it 20-30% cheaper.

I've only used our 5/5/5 Cabelas charger but it works well and charges AGM or flooded cell batteries.

The 3bank is convenient as you can top-off your starter battery as well. I too have a 24V setup. (2) deep cycle batteries and (1) starting battery. The third bank is convenient if you don't run your main motor enough to fully charge your starter battery or if you want to top off the batteries after sitting for a while.
