A wet lead acid can last for decades if properly maintained. Farmers have been doing this. This also implies lead acid are resilient over a very high count of recharges and deep discharges.
AGMs make sense for vehicles that experience constant mechanical events, probably Lion too.
Lion have finite count of recharge cycles.
Lion are higher capacity thus allowing for higher loads in the vehicle. It opens possibilities where lead-based batteries cannot do conveniently.
Lion can be more dangerous under certain circumstances and quality of manufacturer.
Lion are more expensive.

If your ride was engineered around a 12V AGM or traditional lead acid battery, probably makes the most economical sense keep using the same battery technology.
If your ride has enhanced features that justify a Lion source, then its premium is probably justified.
