Deep cycle are meant for very strong amp draws, not so great with constant draws like that. The battery will get HOT like that.
Dual purpose like Optima Red Top seem to do well, especially if you keep it connected to a compatible trickle or solar charger. Nothing wrong with standard or AGM, but deep cycle would be a waste of money IMO.
Those high dollar lithium batteries do well with constant draw but not so great with high amp draws. There are weight savings and charger compatibility issues to consider with those.

Are you trying to get your bottle warm at the track? Or just in general getting your bottle up to temp? May be worth looking into a bottle bath. I made one for about $30 out of an old cooler

Here is my solution. Made it up this afternoon. Hardwired the blanket with 8' of 10ga wire and some battery charger clips, just hook it up to another battery. Get it up to temp. Leave the blanket on the bottle. Unclip it and go. The heated mounting bracket will maintain it and I'll only run it when the car is running. No more cranking battery drain!
