10amp will get the job done in about 4 hours. a 8amp will be a little slower.
Personally, I prefer MK chargers but also like the Dual Pro ones. I have never run a Noco but if the price is right, I would be willing to try.

4amps per bank is too slow in my experience.

Totally missed it was 4 amps per bank.
That will be a long charge. I was thinking it was 8amps ber bank. I had a charger that was 4amps per bank and it would not charge the batteries fully overnight. Get something bigger.

For the record....
Several years ago I went to Paddletales and purchased a Minn Kota Maxxum 70lb 24v trolling motor and a Minn Kota MK-315D on board battery charger. 3 banks, 5 amps per bank. I friggin' love this charger, wouldn't change a thing. I come home, plug it in and I have 3 green LED's in the morning. My trolling motor batteries are Group 27 and even after getting their butts kicked on the St. Lawrence for a day the charger has always given me three green LED's in the morning.
Good luck,
