Late to reply to this, but for anyone in the future who sees this, pick linkdata 65p, or reliance RS60. If unavailable, pick reliance rs50

 the best high amp batteries are:
Reliance RS60 (nearly impossible to get right nownow but huge capacity and good Continuous Discharge Rate.
Reliance RS50 (my preference for high amperage batteries)).
Amprius 50Q (I wouldnt pick this because it has relatively poor cycle life)
Tenpower 50xg
Ampace JP50P1
Eve 50PL

However, for an ebike battery pack, even a 36V one probably won't go above 25A per cell (900W), so pick cells with the most capacity
With a CDR of above 30A.
Linkdata 65P
Reliance RS60
Linkdata 60P
Id just pick the cheapest of them. Though i recommend not buying from AliExpress, find a trustworthy battery shop online. You definitely dont want fakes

I want to add that a couple years ago, I went with Juin Tech because they seemed to be a good compromise that let me use regular STI brake levers, and was a good price compromise versus purchasing expensive levers like the GRX.    As many of us know, mtb. bike hydraulic brake levers are all based on mounting to 22.2mm flat bars, and road bike/gravel bike bars are 23.8mm diameter.    This makes mixing and matching hydraulic brake difficult.

My recent discovery and direction I am heading, is swapping my flared out gravel bars out with the Zinno carbon "H" bars.   (Link below.)  Then I have been using the Pro III hydraulic 4-piston brakes.   Overall, for the 29er hardtail I installed this approach on, I have been very pleased.   I purchased another set of Zinno bars and will upgrade to this same approach.

If you are building up a new ride and are in the planning stage, I recommend looking into this approach.  (Some riders don't like the shape and less drop/flare of the "H" bars.)

I had no clue these bars exist. Theoretically this means its possible to use mtb brake levers but have the ergonomics of STI shifters for a budget build
