Standard battery or Gel for Summer/Winter riding?

My battery is shot and going to pickup a new battery but wondering if theres any issues with a Gel battery for a replacement? I bought two new Gel batteries for our motorcycles a couple years ago and they're great so thinking to buy the same brand for the 06 Rubicon 500. Just wondering if there are any downsides if I have the proper size Gel battery over a regular/OEM type battery?

Thanks!
