Maintenance Free is a nice worry free solution but they don't seem to last as long as Low-Maintenance Batteries. Just as the warranty expires, the battery will give way in a few weeks.
Maintenance Free is more expensive.
Motolite seem to be marketing their Low-Maintenance Batteries for public and commercial transport use. While their Maintenance Free are being targetted to the supposed premium markets of private vehicles.

Keep in mind that number001 said "SEEM" and that he's only speaking from experience.
In my experience, MF batteries lasted longer than non-MF batteries.
Bottom line is, YMMV.
BTW, I have a tip for those who use non-MF batteries. A spill-free way to refill the batteries with distilled water is to use plastic catsup or mustard dispensers (like the ones they use at Shawarma outlets. Press it while its snout is inside the circular refilling hole, and immediately after releasing, you have about 1 or 2 seconds before a drop spills out.
HTH.
