It won't make any difference.

You should try to use a deep cycle for a fridge though.

Best not to duel batteries. They usually win.

Try to keep the same type of batteries, ie wet cell OR AGM OR gel. The batteries have differing charging voltage requirements and could result in over/undercharging of one of the batteries.
