Iota makes some nice chargers. They have an IQ version that is a 4 stage charger for running off of 120 or 240v. As far as charge controllers for your panels go I would stick with a small name brand charge controller. They are responsibly priced and will give you great performance. Some even have dumb load controllers so if your batteries get topped off by the sun it will switch the pv to a load of your choice ie a 12v heating element in a water heater if you have one. If you don't have panels yet renogy has 100 watt panels for 120$ shipped and that's one of the better deals I have seen for a name brand panel
