Choose one that fits your needs. One battery or two? They will keep your  
battery's charger and provide all the power your cooler can consume. I have 
used  this setup with great success. You can determine how much battery and 
charging  power you need by adding up how much you will consume each hour. 
How many amps  will you use?

I am  thinking it would be nice to be able to plug into shore power for   
longer trips when we are spending the nights in a marina.  If I had  AC  
power I could run my new Igloo ice chest / refrigerator.  It  can run  
on DC power, but I feel it would drain my battery fairly  quickly.  I  
was also thinking about installing a trickle  charger for the battery.   
That might be another questions as I  am not sure that is a good idea  
for marine deep cycle  batteries.    Plus if I have AC power I could  
charge  phones, laptops, and most importantly I could make my wife her   
morning latte.  That latte could be the difference between a great  day  
on the water and wishing I was back home working on boat in  the   
backyard.

Thanks
Bill
