Why was the battery dead? Have you checked for a parasitic drain in the electrical system?

Go with the booster pack.

Adding a 2nd battery is expensive. Requires new switch, fuse, cables etc. Added hassle of winter storage
Other than starting, is there a real need?

I would guesstimate $300 in materials and 4-5 hrs to DIY (assuming knowledge).
