I personaly would go with items from the boat stores as they tend to be more weatherproof and durable although a bit more pricey.
In today's world, it's pretty simple to convert AC to DC and vice-versa, but in the T2K post-EMP world, I suspect it'd be more difficult, especially as the boat stores are likely to have been looted.

It's a bit more difficult (bit still entirely possible) to convert a DC voltage to a higher voltage. With AC you just need a transformer, with DC you need some fancy electronics (years ago, I saw a circuit to convert a 9V supply to 200V), but again, I suspect it'd be much more difficult in the T2K world.
